Log cabins usually have a very basic interior, which doesn't appeal to me. Log cabins do however, tend to display their roof support beams in the interior, which I find to be extremely appealing. I chose to redesign the standard log cabin due to it's stagnant development in the world of architecture. The primary focus of my design is the ceiling, as within the standard log cabin, that is the only element that truly intrigues me. My aim for this design was to bring something fresh and new to the log cabin, and so I my focus became to introduce features of modern architecture. The first thing I knew I wanted to implement into the cabin was glass, but this could only be a side feature as a log cabin should be primarily wood (hence 'log cabin'). But I had to find a way to implement glass as it is such a common feature in today's world of design, and so I did this using windows as they're functional and can create a glass feature. I also knew I wanted to include a some what complex geometric focus, and so I took it to the ceiling. As I previously mentioned I enjoy the visuals of the internal roof supports.
