Husos Architects creates compact Love Shack cabin as founder's home and office
Madrid-based Husos Architects has designed a compact timber cabin near Madrid for one of its co-founders that aims to be sustainable and sensitive to its pine forest setting.
Named (Synanthro)Love Shack, (Tele)Working Abode, the cabin was created for Husos Architects co-founder Diego Baraja and his partner as a place for them both to live and work.
Baraja designed the home, which is part of a housing development in a woodland area, to have the smallest footprint for its two occupants to live comfortably while aiming to have a low impact on the pine forest ecosystem.

"We understand this project as an ensemble of architecture for human and non-human animals, that together form a path towards exploring ways of caring for the biological and social diversity of an urban forest ecosystem that include realities that are often undervalued and neglected," Baraja told Dezeen. "That is the case of moths, gay families, migrant domesticities, or some of the construction challenges of architecture regarding the current climate emergency," he continued.
The project aims to both radically reduce the ecological footprint of suburban housing and imagine other forms of coexistence with the surrounding fauna.
