The Cabin in Woods project is a small cabin designed for short-term rentals, located on a hill near a village in the Kozak Plateau of Bergama, far from urban areas.

Situated on one of the existing dry-stone walls within an old vineyard, the structure minimally intervenes with the existing texture on one hand, while distinctly separating itself from nature on the other hand with its steel frame structure and metal facade.

The building resembles a shell surrounding a central "hearth, sitting, and conversation pit" located at the center. Only the bathroom and kitchen functions are attached as appendages to the structure. Additionally, a loft has been created for sleeping area.

 The shell has a horizontal opening on three facades to offer panoramic views of the serene natural surroundings. All created wall voids on the facade extrude outward like eyes from the shell.

The stone set wall, which was reinforced for the foundation, was deliberately completed with the existing random, irregular pattern of stones in the field, and a reinforced concrete foundation was poured into it. The steel structural system and façade parts entirely detached from the landscape, were prefabricated in the workshop and only assembled on site. The Cabin basically consists of the combination of these two tectonic approaches: The fire pit, which is a part of the topography, allows users to gather and come into contact with the natural topography; On the other hand, the steel shell, which looks like a tent covering the fire pit, seems foreign to its surrounding environment with its shape and material. The identity of the building is based on this contrast.
