This term, we explored three fabrication techniques: CNC Milling, Laser Cutting, and 3D Printing. Our objective was to create complex geometries while investigating the unique properties of each method. Through this investigation, we aimed to demonstrate how different shapes can be produced using various machines and techniques, thereby enhancing our understanding of advanced fabrication processes.
Concept
The design of the cabin draws inspiration from Slavic fairytales, presenting a modern take on Baba Yaga’s house, a well-known figure in Slavic folklore. Its light glass structure reflects the forest surroundings, creating an effect that makes the cabin appear to float on three “legs.” The wooden elements on the second floor reinforce the natural theme and harmonize with the intended environment.

CNC Milling
The design intention was to create an architectural element featuring a Voronoi pattern using CNC milling, as we aimed for this element to be integrated into the overall design.
