The simple, but elegant structure is a prime example of ecologically architecture. The cabin sits rather quietly among the surrounding vegetation. It’s a simple structure built on a slab foundation.

The exterior framing is left open to the elements and a grey slate roof provides a pleasant contrast to the light wood studs.

The cabin cost 18,000 Euro ($25,000) to build, and helps to enrich local research, while also providing a non-intrusive method of learning for students.
