Tar-coated wooden shingles cover the walls and roof of this small cabin, which architecture office Pirinen & Salo designed as a studio for a filmmaker on a wooded site beside lake Porovesi in Finland.
Helsinki-based practice Pirinen & Salo drew on the "mystical" worlds of 1980s adventure films for the design of The Filmmaker's Hut, which it describes as a "shrine to cinema".

Positioned on a gentle slope alongside the ruined foundations of an old stone building, the 15-square-metre studio is accessed via a wooden walkway that runs along the lake's shoreline. To create a sense of mystery and escapism, the architect wanted both the age and size of The Filmmaker's Hut to be hard to intuit and so created a play in scale between the oversized gable-roof form, arched window and small wooden shingles.
