Daab Design is behind Pine Nut Cabane, a minimalist French cabin set in green nature in the south of FranceNestled within a forest outside Marseille in the south of France, the Pine Nut Cabane by Daab Design could hardly feel more idyllic.
Inside, the interiors remain simple and pared down, using plywood and matte black finishes. Meanwhile, a polished concrete floor and a ‘cave-like shower nook of light terracotta zellige tiles’ help anchor the structure to its site. Sustainable strategies include natural cross-ventilation and passive cooling, clever insulation to keep indoor temperatures steady, and the use of local contractors and materials.
‘We have a large and now internationally spread out family, so family gatherings have become all the more important to us. Daab Design has used the project as a way to memorialise a special location on our property, for which we are grateful,’ say the clients. ‘The new cabin gives us much-needed space to relax and rest when we all get together, and space for our independent art practices.’
A surrounding landscape using native plants and local limestone, created by Tamaris Design, ensures this little French cabin feels naturally embedded in its green setting of rolling hills and mature trees. §
