Inside Rik & Lindsey's RIBA Award-Winning Eco Home Built in East Sussex
Step inside Rik & Lindsey's RIBA award-winning eco-lodge in the woods outside Hastings, a stunning modern glass cabin nestled in the forest. See how contemporary design blends with nature for a peaceful retreat.
This video provides a detailed walkthrough of a modern glass cabin, focusing on the architectural choices that connect the interior space with the surrounding woodland. If you are interested in small-scale building design or looking for inspiration for your own getaway, this tour highlights how large windows and thoughtful layout choices maximize forest views.
We examine key features, including the unique suspended fireplace that anchors the living area and the minimalist seating arrangements. By observing the balance between the structure and the natural landscape, you will gain a clearer understanding of how to create an open, airy atmosphere in a compact footprint. The exterior shots also demonstrate how landscaping, such as vibrant foreground flowers, can complement a contemporary cabin architecture style.
