Today I am all about industrial design! I've been researching different design trends for Autumn/Winter 2011 and 'Industrial Modern' keeps working its way back onto my screen. One of my favourite pieces of industrial architecture is the 'Chicken Point Cabin' by Olsen Kundig Architects.
'The idea for the cabin is that of a lakeside shelter in the woods - a little box with a big window that opens to the surrounding landscape. The cabin’s big window-wall opens the entire living space to the forest and lake. Materials are low maintenance - concrete block, steel, concrete floors and plywood - in keeping with the notion of a cabin, and left unfinished to naturally age and acquire a patina that fits in with the natural setting. The use of color and texture are important in the interior of this casual family cabin. Strong blocks of colour help to define space and direct the eye. Texture in furnishings provides a soft but strong counterpoint to the hard, raw material palette.' Olsen Kundig Architects
