Modern Rotating Timber Cabin in the Wilderness Boasts Mirrored Exteriors at PEBL Grand
In the world of small-scale architecture, two innovative projects are making waves with their sculptural aesthetics, unique structural systems, and environmentally conscious approach. The PEBL Grand and the Jet House, designed by the Hungarian design studio Hello Wood, are redefining modern architecture by addressing its needs for ecological sensitivity, speed, sustainability, and mobility.
The PEBL Grand, a rotatable, adaptable, and nature-immersed timber cabin, is part of a commercial system that includes the experimental Jet House, an airplane-shaped cabin. Both projects are modular buildings, arriving fully completed and prepared for installation, whether in urban settings or within green spaces.
The use of CNC machines allows Hello Wood to develop curved and irregular geometries that would not be achievable with traditional construction methods. For the PEBL Grand, this results in angular, faceted surfaces, referred to as low-poly design language. The cabin's modular form and built-in timber allow for location flexibility as well as the ability to adjust light and views throughout the day.
The core structure of PEBL Grand uses Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT), a material created by multiple layers of wood planks glued together with grain directions alternating at 90-degree angles. This sandwich construction allows PEBL Grand to maintain comfortable interior conditions while protecting the structural wood from moisture and temperature variations. The CLT core is wrapped in insulating and waterproof layers, providing weather protection and insulation.
The Jet House embodies the future of small-scale architecture, embodying a unique structural system and a commitment to sustainability. Built as an experimental commission over several years, the Jet House serves as an experiment in how architecture can adapt and evolve to meet current structural demands. Units can be flat-packed into regular shipping containers for international projects, expanding their reach to various global locales.
The PEBL Grand's mirrored exterior creates a visual conversation between structure and nature by reflecting the surrounding forest or landscape. This reflective surface, along with the modular buildings' ability to be placed directly within green spaces, reduces the environmental impact of construction sites.
The Hungarian design studio views these projects as opening new paths in architecture and offering practical solutions for different needs in various locations around the world.
