About the project (provided by the applicant)
The project aims to reinterpret the traditional cultural architecture of nomadic peoples and contrast it with the sedentary construction principle. This cabin is designed for rest and leisure in the mountains under conditions comfortable for modern humans.

The structure and form of the dwelling follow historical patterns: a hearth in the center, with other functional zones arranged around it. The circle was chosen as the most energy-efficient shape, and modern materials are combined with a segmented roof design.
