Reconnecting People with Nature

About Cabin ANNA

Cabin ANNA was born from a deeply personal need: to bring design closer to life and nature. It began as a one-off project for designer Caspar Schols' mother—a structure that could adapt to her changing needs and moods. What followed was the realization that many people long for the same thing: a living space that flexibly responds to weather, seasons, solitude, and company. ANNA exists to meet this need, and continues to be designed and built in The Netherlands. 

 

In an increasingly urban and climate-controlled world, we’ve created physical comfort at the cost of sensory and ecological disconnection. ANNA is a response to this imbalance. It is both a home and a tool—an adaptable cabin that strips architecture to its essentials and reintroduces nature into daily life. With movable walls and layered construction, it allows users to modulate their environment and become more attuned to natural rhythms. ANNA offers protection without isolation, and comfort without detachment.

 

This is not just a cabin—it is a statement about how we want to live.

About the Designer

Caspar Schols is a Dutch artist and designer with an academic background in physics and a master’s in architecture from the Architectural Association in London. He first gained international recognition in 2016 with the creation of the Garden House—a manually reconfigurable wooden structure he designed for his mother. The project won multiple international art and design awards and became the conceptual seed for Cabin ANNA.


In addition to his work on ANNA, Caspar is a founding member of Carroccera, a multidisciplinary art collective that explores experimental architecture and spatial interventions. At Studio Caspar Schols, he continues to develop projects that challenge the boundaries between architecture, art, and the human experience.
