The Nordic Woodland Retreat,
The Cotswolds.
Luxury vacation cabins in the Cotswolds, a set of six exterior renders showing the timber architecture against the woodland landscape, designed to sit quietly in their setting.
Interior design and architecture by Juliana Giaffreda. The brief was a six-render exterior set, wide context views, gable details, the arrival sequence, and the al fresco dining moment that anchors the cabin's outdoor program.
Materials and detailing centred on the timber cladding, light-stained on the principal cabin, blackened on the secondary structure with garage. Each render was built to read as a real photograph at print resolution, with lighting tuned hour-by-hour against the cabin's true orientation in the woodland.
Timber cabin, front elevation
The principal cabin in its lawn setting. Render lighting was matched to a warm late-afternoon hour to bring out the timber tones and the relationship between cabin, lawn, and tree line.
Rear elevation & driveway
The arrival sequence, driveway approach to the cabin's rear elevation, with the surrounding woodland framing the architecture. Composition was set to lead the eye toward the entrance.
