The Soorts Cabin, designed by formalocal, is an extension to an existing house in Soorts-Hossegor, France, completed in 2023. Situated in a garden with pine and cork oak trees, the 43-square-meter cabin was conceived as a detached bedroom raised on stilts. This elevated position and the construction method were chosen to minimize the environmental impact on the existing vegetation and soil. The structure was built using glued laminated timber frames and screw piles, allowing for a lightweight and non-invasive foundation. This approach facilitated construction with minimal disturbance to the natural surroundings. The cabin is part of a larger project, which also included a renovation of the main Soorts House, reflecting a sensitive, site-specific approach to architecture. The design creates a harmonious relationship between the new structure and the natural landscape, offering a secluded and elevated living space among the trees.
