Festival organiser Philippe Burguet picks nine of his favourite wooden structures from this year's Cabin Festival, including a Japanese-style cabin and a playful teepee-shaped cabin with a swinging hammock.
The Cabin Festival is held annually around Lake Annecy, a preserved area in Haute-Savoie, France that is internationally renowned for its scenic landscape and high water quality.
For this year's event, the organisers put out an open call for cabin designs around the themes of territory and settlement.
Entrants were asked to create a cabin made from wood that measures less than six square metres overall. They were also required to construct the cabins from wood types found in the surrounding Savoyard forests.

The winning cabins float, perch and balance on stilts or are hidden between the trees in the nearby forest. "The hut as a built building represents only a point of view, a milestone, a punctuation mark, a landmark that gives the stroller the opportunity to be located within a larger landscape," Burguet told Dezeen.
"It is the camera focused on a chosen point of view," he added.
