How can architecture provide the setting to enhance the awareness of the surrounding without distancing itself from nature?

For an off-grid cabin in the Canadian wilderness, we proposed a backwood cabin that connects with the surrounding both physically and spatially.

Traditionally, backwood cabins served as a resting place for its occupants. Community Forests International’s call for a rethink of the cabin asked for a blurring of the distinction between the inside and outside, while serving a functional use as a cabin for researchers in the forest.
