The Allandale House isn’t your
typical forest cottage. Designed by William O’Brien Jr., Assistant
Professor of Architecture at the MIT
School of Architecture and Planning and is principal of an independent design
practice in Cambridge, Massachusetts, the Allandale House is a modern serene
getaway home in the forest.
Based on the classic A-frame, the extreme
modern version of the cabin was constructed for an idiosyncratic connoisseur
and her family. The vacation home is small, but contains enough storage space
for collections of rare artifacts, books, wines, and stuffed animals, including
forest dwelling elk and birds.
