Muse is a proposed prototype residential cabin that comes equipped with a studio space for visiting artists in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia. One prototype cabin features a core that contains a bedroom with a washroom on the second floor and a darkroom that complements a studio on the lower floor. The studio space is intended to visually and spatially connect to the outdoor space.
Cabins can be deployed in various configurations including on a sloped condition as explored in this iteration. In this layout, two cabins that are parallel to each other form a shared versatile courtyard.
The design exercise was completed as a component of ARCH 3002 Design course at Dalhousie University.
