wiki world plants red timber cabin standing on stilts within chinese woodland

"Red Cabin is an experimental holiday developed as part of the Merryda Wiki World - Secret Camp, a forest-based project composed of more than a dozen discreet treehouses set within a metasequoia woodland inhabited by migratory birds. The project, located in Dongxihu District, , forms part of Wiki World's ongoing 'Wiki Building School' initiative, which explores alternative living models through co-building with nature."

"The site is a dense metasequoia forest characterized by seasonal ecological activity and minimal human intervention. The was positioned in direct response to existing vegetation, with all trees preserved and no ground hardening introduced. Construction relies on fully structures, allowing the forest floor to remain untouched and maintaining the site's original ecological condition. The cabin's form and color were conceived in reference to a migratory bird, resulting in a compact wooden volume finished entirely in red."

"The building is constructed entirely from laminated timber. All irregular components and joints were digitally designed and custom-fabricated, enabling a fully prefabricated assembly process. The structure follows a modular logic, allowing for efficient transportation, on-site assembly, disassembly, and potential reuse. Small metal connectors link timber elements and support repeated assembly without permanent alteration to the site. Interior spaces are compact and deliberately constrained, aligning with Wiki World's exploration of reduced spatial dimensions,"
