Forêt Eco Cabins is a net-zero, wellness-based resort and Nordic circuit spa, designed to elevate the outdoor experience by blending quiet luxury with the natural beauty of the forest landscape.
The resort’s tiny eco-cabins are a playful reinterpretation of traditional cabin typology. Sculptural, torqued roofs enhance interior height and views of the forest, while the interiors emphasize natural tones and finishes. Powered by a solar array, the cabins incorporate Passive House wall assemblies, wood fiber insulation, low-VOC materials and are elevated on helical piles for minimal site impact.
