Yūgen.
Yūgen Cabins is about building spaces with core principles of health, efficiency, sustainability, a strong connection to the surroundings.
“Yūgen” (y-uu-gain) is a Japanese term which describes “mysterious profundity.” It is an awareness that sparks a deep emotional connection to your surroundings in a way that can’t be described. It is beauty that you feel, that lingers in the memory. Imagination is essential and so is participation. No moment is perfect or permanent. Yugen Cabins also incorporates the ideals of “wabi sabi” and appreciating imperfection, nature being the prime example. It is something to be admired, appreciated, and experienced.
Yūgen Cabins is about curating a space which can allow the experience of Yugen and incorporates unique characteristics of building off-grid.

Experienced
I’ve been designing and building residences for 20+ years. Merging that passion with that of the outdoors, a treehouse or a cabin – I love it all! Vernacular huts, sustainable off-grid architecture, modern high-design and detailing – bring it!
Inspired
Cabin architecture is a perfect microcosm for design and expression in human scale. Any design principles can be explored and used to enhance the human experience among design at it’s best – our natural world.
