while the project is designed to be both practical and contemporary, perkins + will demonstrates an influence from traditional california cabin design with timber A-frame construction. each cabin is comprised of just 15 panels of cross-laminated timber which provide structure, insulation, and interior finishes. the material is designed to be flat-packed for ease of transport and minimal environmental impact. each structure covers 230 square feet and can by assembled on-site at a rate of two per day. the dining hall will be clad in photovoltaic paneling and, along with the cabins, will be naturally ventilated.
