Las cabañas de hoy son para uso durante todas las estaciones, lo que las convierte en el deleite de los excursionistas, exploradores y urbanitas que buscan tranquilidad. Son prácticos, cómodos y están construidos para soportar los duros climas de las altas montañas o la escarpada costa. Algunos son refugios básicos y escasamente equipados; otros son retiros únicos de “glamping” (campamento glamoroso) con todas las comodidades del hogar o, mejor aún, con las comodidades de un hotel de lujo que incluye jacuzzi, sauna y Wi-Fi. Claramente, la idea de escapar a lugares remotos para reconectarse con la naturaleza ha ampliado sus límites experienciales, pero las cabañas tradicionales prevalecen como estructuras atemporales que se integran con sensatez en su entorno. El vidrio y la madera cobran protagonismo como materiales predominantes utilizados por dentro y por fuera. La generosa fenestración abre los espacios interiores a la luz del día y las vistas. Los principios sostenibles y los diseños que generan evolucionan para reflejar el uso de materiales y tecnología que está intrínsecamente ligado a un lugar y un tiempo. Estos principios ya se implantaron en la arquitectura vernácula mediante la consideración de factores que incluyen geográficos, topográficos, climáticos, así como culturales e históricos. Today’s cabins are for all-season use, making them the delight of hikers, explorers, and urbanites searching for peace of mind. They are practical, comfortable, and built to withstand the harsh climates in the high mountains or the rugged coast. Some are basic and sparsely fitted shelters; others are unique “glamping” (glamorous camping) retreats with all the comforts of the home or, better yet, with the amenities of a luxury hotel including hot tub, sauna, and Wi-Fi. Clearly, the idea of escaping to remote locations to reconnect with nature has expanded its experiential boundaries, but traditional cabins prevail as timeless structures that sensibly integrate into their surroundings. Glass and wood take center stage as the predominant materials used inside and out. Generous fenestration opens interior spaces to the daylight and the views. Sustainable principles and the designs they generate evolve to reflect the use of materials and technology that is inherently linked to a place and time. Such principles were already implanted in vernacular architecture through the consideration of factors including geographical, topographical, climatic, as well as cultural and historic.
