Twisted House

Twisted House is a bold architectural exploration of movement, transformation, and spatial fluidity. Inspired by the dynamic act of twisting, the project redefines traditional static architecture by introducing a spatial deformation that enhances functionality, structural integrity, and aesthetic expression.



Set against a dramatic mountain backdrop, the cabin’s sharp, angular geometry echoes the rugged peaks, creating a striking visual dialogue between the built environment and the natural world. The twisting form generates dynamic interior spaces, allowing for a seamless interaction between architecture and landscape.



The exterior is clad in dark-colored corrugated metal panels, chosen for their durability, resilience, and sustainable properties. The textured façade interacts with shifting light conditions, enhancing the building’s sculptural presence while ensuring low maintenance and superior energy efficiency in extreme winter climates. This material selection reinforces longevity and reduces the structure’s environmental impact over time.



Expansive floor-to-ceiling glass windows frame breathtaking views of the snow-covered forest and a winding river, seamlessly integrating the indoors with the surrounding landscape. These high-performance glazed surfaces optimize passive solar heating, reducing energy consumption while maximizing daylight penetration and panoramic visibility.



The minimalist interior prioritizes comfort and sustainability, featuring modern lounge chairs, a sleek coffee table, and warm ambient lighting that cultivate a sense of retreat and relaxation. Finishes include sustainably sourced wood paneling, high-performance insulation, and an energy-efficient heating system, ensuring a reduced carbon footprint while maintaining a refined, luxurious atmosphere.



A winding river in the foreground enhances the project’s sense of place, reinforcing its connection to the landscape. Snow-covered evergreens surround the cabin, acting as natural wind barriers while strengthening its environmental integration.



This project exemplifies sustainable innovation in extreme climates, balancing bold contemporary aesthetics with ecological responsibility. Through durable materials, passive design strategies, and site-sensitive planning, Twisted House achieves a harmonious fusion of architectural expression and environmental stewardship, redefining the modern winter retreat.
