The Forest Cottage brief was for a holiday home in the mountains of Cyprus.
A home that could be used in the summertime as an escape from the heat of the city and in the winter even in extreme cold conditions, a cosy home.
The sloped roof design functions to disperse settled snow and protect the building from the weight of heavy snowfall.
The Forest Cottage mood board allowed 5Dbuilding to select from our favoured interior design suppliers and materials.
Our Interior Design service pulls together from our materials suppliers, functional and elegant furniture.
The layout plan of the holiday home is based on the golden ratio rectangle, a correctness to the layout and technical aspects.
Energy efficient glass planels protect and insulate from the heat and cold outside.
Four metre high windows feature in the living area providing a full picture view of the forest outside.
Metal frame buildings allow for many features not easily available using traditional building techniques.
Natural plants and flowers printed wallpaper has been used in the living area and bedroom to bring nature inside.

An open kitchen-dining-sitting room is separated from the bedroom area by a wood burning fireplace.
The kitchen uses an architectural feature only easily available using metal frame structure: a floating corner. The floor to ceiling window panels slide and open the space entirely without the need for a supporting column.
The kitchens marble worksurface extends to the dining table.
The splash back wall surface is covered with natural beautiful colours of hand painted ceramic tiles.
The ensuite bathroom uses stone tile and fabricated stone wall coverings.
