Perched in the heart of Lake Arrowhead, CA, "Bern Double-A" is a masterfully crafted residential renovation that embodies a blend of the firm's signature minimalist sophistication and warm coziness. This project began with a derelict 1970s cabin, reimagined to capitalize on the A-frame wooden structure.

Residential › Cabin
The cabin simulates, in an abstract way, the structure of an insect or a butterfly, achieving an organic and symbolic composition without being literal. The design explores curved and wavy shapes that reflect the essence of transformation and metamorphosis, integrating into the forest and evoking a sense of connection with nature.
