FUEL Cabin has initiated a revolution in residential aesthetics with its modular wooden cabin design, characterized by flexible assembly and mobility across diverse landscapes. This innovative living concept is tailored for individuals seeking more time and space in the fast-paced urban lifestyle, allowing them to focus on enjoying life's beautiful moments.
The modular open design is centered around the principles of "openness, flexibility, and reconfiguration." It breaks down traditional residential spaces—living rooms, kitchens, bathrooms, and bedrooms—using wood to enable users to combine elements according to their personal needs, creating their ideal living environment. The cabin's modular design facilitates a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor spaces, fostering a deeper connection with nature.
Constructed from sustainably sourced materials, the FUEL Cabin primarily uses timber from Kochi Prefecture in Japan. This choice of material not only regulates temperature for a comfortable living environment—keeping it warm in winter and cool in summer—but also offers earthquake resistance and durability. The inherent resilience and flexibility of the wood allow it to absorb seismic shocks, maintaining structural stability, which is crucial in earthquake-prone regions.
Additionally, the cabin is equipped with a carbon fiber I-beam foundation developed by Lin Jianhua from "Construct Design / United Works," enabling it to adapt to various terrains. The FUEL team is committed to minimizing its impact on the landscape, ensuring that the cabin operates effectively within an environmentally friendly framework.
Beyond serving as a residence, the goal is to establish a borderless nomadic community where enthusiasts of life can wander through diverse landscapes, collectively experiencing this new era of living revolution.
