The VR Cabin by CRB Arquitectos is a compact 90-square-meter refuge in Valle de Bravo designed to create a seamless connection with the surrounding forest. Warm wooden interiors provide comfort and thermal balance, contrasting with a simple, unobtrusive exterior that blends into the landscape. The cabin integrates living, sleeping, and working areas into a single open space, complemented by a lofted sleeping nook inspired by Nordic design. With outdoor terraces, a garden-facing bathroom, and an outdoor shower enveloped by vegetation, the project promotes a lifestyle of privacy, tranquility, and disconnection from urban life.
