These cabins look insanely cool.

They were made by New British Design as part of an installation that appears on the coast of North Cornwall.

“Designed by the studio’s founder, Ben Huggins, these unique wilderness cabins—or ‘kudhva’, the cornish term for ‘hideout’—are the first phase in a wider masterplan for the disused slate quarry that makes up the site,” reports Designboom.

“Huggins, who worked with long term collaborator Louise Middleton on the project, hopes to offer the public the chance to experience an off-grid retreat through the experimental type of architecture.”

Cabins that take us away from the everyday.

Like a tannenbaum, a good cabin is perennial. ‘Tis always the season for the rustic getaway house, a place to deck the halls with home-made brew and extended relations. Some of the cabins featured here are too tiny for second cousins; others foreign and thus, impractical for a long weekend. But all are perfect and lust-worthy, especially for the cabin-less who really just want the courtesy of an invite.

Failing that, there’s always Cabin Porn.
