Urban Hut on a Roof

Entirely timber ‘mini-building’ dropped into the roofscape to create an autonomous urban haven. It also could become working kitchen/diner for a local designer who leaves below the roof. With a sliding glass roof, solar panels, wood-burning stove and sheep’s wool insulation the building takes ideas from both hide-away tree houses and the suburban garden shed, providing nothing more or less than is required for an urban sanctuary. This project could be the answer why HUT Architecture are called so.
