Nestled at the entrance to a wooded area on a private countryside residence on the outskirts of Bourdeaux, France, is a unique stone cabin built by French stonemason Daniel Hörning. The nearly 210-square-foot structure, which is built of local limestone and sandstone, was designed to be a haven for those seeking serenity.
“The design goal for the cabin was to create something truly unique in the middle of the forest,” said Hörning, explaining that the structure sits on his own property, which is in the Rhône-Alps region of France. “My younger brother, Tobias Hörning, who served as the architect on the project, and I wanted to design a small simple structure that was half square and half a circle combined. We thought the contrast between the two would be an interesting concept. We found it amusing that the structure takes on the form of a slice of cake.
