A Tiny Writer's Retreat Set Among the Hills of Snowdonia Slate Cabin is a writer’s retreat perched on the edge of Snowdonia National Park in Mid Wales,designed by TRIAS. The building is set in a lush green valley that is ringed by barren, windswept hills and grazing pastures. In response to this heavenly, or yet harsh landscape,the cabin is a reduced black box, anchored to the ground. It provides protection and respite to visitors who wish to escape the wind, and rain,and snow.
The exterior of the cabin is covered in local stone, which is fixed to the building like oversized shingles. The cabin features one single room for all fundamental activities - sleeping, and cooking,resting and relaxing - and a bathroom tucked behind, while subtle shifts and steps are used to distinguish between functions, or creating rooms within a larger volume.
