This project was designed and constructed by a team of 13 students in 6 months. It’s designed as a wilderness hut for two persons. The whole process started from concpet design, structure design, 1:1 mock up for space and structure, to final fabrication and construction. As the final building project for Wood Program, it also shows our understanding of industrial wood construction, materials properties and Finnish culture.

Wood, as a natural material, need to be designed with enough tolerance for both space and details. Finding the balance between design and construction was a crutial topic for this project, and “Less is more.” the concept brought by Mies was found to be the core guideline during the process. We aim to make Kurukuru a modern model for Finnish wooden hut, easy to be fabricated and constructed, with a traditional interioral space vibe.
