The idea seeks a shelter in this climate that is very austere, extreme, with strong, cold winds. The project achieved three climates: inside it is 100% closed, another intermediate and another open.

It is a waterfront retreat generating a backyard connected to the front thanks to the skeleton-like structure which allows shelter. Allowing to have a space for people who accompany and do not participate in the wind sport.

The dock like circulation achieves the travel between the sea (wind) and the backyard, which is protected from the wind (outdoor shelter), allowing to have a fire pit area outside.

The wooden structure as a skeleton is the support for different skins, textures, shadows and lights.

It was designed in a 3m x 3m wood module where the structure (pillars and beams) are exposed. The structure was impregnated on the outside with carbolineum (black color) and wall linings in dark brown. The ceiling is made with eucalyptus poles, exposing the wooden beams in black.

The interior walls and floors were made with pine wood finished in natural primer.

A simple materiality was considered (wood, forest area) and local labor (very cheap).

Anastasia Andreieva is an accomplished Architectural Projects Editor at Arch2O, bringing a unique blend of linguistic expertise and design enthusiasm to the team. Born and raised in Ukraine, she holds a Master’s degree in Languages from Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv. Her deep passion for architecture and visual storytelling led her to transition from translation and editorial roles into the world of design media. With a keen eye for conceptual clarity and narrative structure, Anastasia curates and presents global architectural projects with precision and flair. She is particularly drawn to parametric and digital design, cultural context, and emerging voices in architecture. When I’m not analyzing the latest architectural trends, you’ll probably find me searching for hidden gems in cityscapes or appreciating the beauty of well-crafted spaces. After all, great design—like great connections—can be found in the most unexpected places. Speaking of connections, because architecture isn’t the only thing that brings people together.
