"CL02 Cabin is a 55-square-meter cabin designed by Bucharest-based Vinklu architecture and completed in 2025. Situated in the forested hillside of Valea lui Enache, Romania, the cabin was built upon the foundations and footprint of a previously failed structure and a small, family-built annex. This approach minimized the project's environmental impact by focusing on renewal rather than replacement. The design balances minimalist form with deep respect for its rural surroundings. The cabin is composed of a dark, angular form wrapped in blackened autoclaved timber, which helps it blend seamlessly into the forest. The layout is distributed across two floors, with the ground floor featuring a master bedroom and bathroom, along with a small terrace. The upper floor contains the main living areas—a lounge, kitchen, and dining area. This second level features a vaulted ceiling and expansive, panoramic windows that open toward the forest, creating a sense of expansiveness and a ""cinematic"" connection to the natural setting. Smaller windows on the ground floor enhance intimacy and privacy. A balcony extends the living area, and the staircase connecting the two floors visually reinforces the sense of openness. The minimalist palette of clean, neutral finishes throughout the interior directs focus to the surrounding nature. Sustainable features include efficient insulation, natural ventilation, and passive solar orientation to reduce mechanical intervention. The project has received recognition at the Bucharest Architecture Annual 2025. Credits Architect: Ștefan Păvăluță of Vinklu Inc.
