Modular houses are a popular topic in recent years. One of these projects went to the architect Maria Marshchuk. She came up with the simplest and most functional interior with everything necessary for a girl who wanted to live closer to nature

This modular house has its own name — Forest Cabin. And in this name lies the whole meaning of such a dwelling. The main idea is to live as close to nature as possible, to see how the snow falls, falling asleep all around, how twilight descends to the ground, how the tops of pine trees sway in the wind, and in summer wake up to the singing of birds and the noise of foliage.

The main role in the interior is given to a panoramic view of the forest

The kitchen-dining room is zoned with the help of color: the wooden walls here are painted in the color of the sea wave.

Of course, such a house will be chosen only by the person who appreciates the opportunity to live in the forest. But this does not mean that he will have to completely abandon the benefits to which we are all accustomed. The area of the house is only 40 square meters, but it accommodates a kitchen-living room with panoramic views of the forest, fireplace and underfloor heating; a separate bedroom with a double bed and a bathroom.

When designing the interior, architect Maria Marshchuk proceeded from the fact that a panoramic view is the main thing here, so the kitchen—living room is an observation deck. You can see the forest from almost every point. The best vantage point is definitely on the couch.

The main finishing material here is wood, and hemp acts as bedside and coffee tables. The most noticeable piece of furniture is a chest of drawers, which the hostess got from her grandmother. It was restored in a friendly workshop “Beautiful as before” and placed in the bedroom. Vintage carpets are also part of the legacy of the customer.

The house landed in a bright pine forest near Naro-Fominsk and is now rented out, so anyone can repeat the experiment of the American Henry Thoreau, author of the book “Walden, or Life in the Forest”. Thoreau spent two years in a forest hut, which he built with his own hands, and believed that it was useful for everyone to live a simple life. At least in order to understand what you can easily do without in this life.
