Pocono Modern Cabinsfrom Design 7 Architecture Studio with Craig Griffen
Designing a single family dwelling along the southern Rim Road of Big Pocono State Park at the top of Camelback Mountain, students will design a program that is rather simple to allow for exploration. Each cabin area will be around 1000 sf and have a living space, cooking pace, eating space, full bath and two sleeping areas. Projects should take advantage of outdoor spaces and the vies upon the mountain using means of balconies, decks, and terraces should be integrated. As with any building, the cabin should incorporate passive energy strategies.

A stone and timber cabin anchored and stepped into its sloping landscape with an entry into a single loaded corridor that opens up at the end to the living area with panoramic views of the valley. Each space steps down to its own level following the slope of the mountain, with the bedrooms in the back of the cabin focusing views to the sky and the living areas in the front open to views and the south facing sun.

This concept revolved around two forms, a public and a private which were separated, allowing for an outside space in between. The forms were oriented South for the best views as well as optimal solar exposure. The forms were slightly angled to respond to the entry stair, which also allowed for more all-around views. Sustainable Design principles such as High Insulation, Optimal Solar Angles, Thermal Mass, Ventilation, and Rainwater Collection were also implemented.
