A collection of reflective cabins<\/a> designed by prefabricated housing company \u00d6\u00d6D have been added to the site of a 1970s hotel on Oregon<\/a>‘s Rogue River.<\/p>\n

Named Tu Tu’ Tun Lodge<\/a> after the Indigenous Tututni tribe, the remote hotel expanded its accommodation offering as part of a site-wide renovation after it was acquired by Charming Hospitality.<\/p>\n

The group also purchased an adjacent piece of land that was formerly a trailer park, and therefore did not require additional planning permission to place semi-permanent units.<\/p>\n

Twelve of \u00d6\u00d6D<\/a>‘s Glass Cabins are arranged across the sloped terrain \u2013 with mountain, creek or river views \u2013 so that they don’t overlook one another.<\/p>\n

“The cabins feature mirrored walls that reflect their surroundings \u2013 the vast starry night sky, majestic mountain peaks, the Rogue River and more \u2013 while providing guests with unobstructed views,” said the Tu Tu’ Tun Lodge team.<\/p>\n

Designed for two guests, the cabins are wrapped on three sides with floor-to-ceiling glass that’s treated so that it appears tinted from the interior and mirrored on the outside.<\/p>\n

\"BackThe structures were positioned so as not to overlook one another<\/p>\n

The compact footprints fit double beds, wetrooms with a shower and toilet, a separate sink and vanity, a small closet, and a side table and chairs.<\/p>\n

Each also has a small private patio or deck with chairs and a fire pit for relaxing outdoors.<\/p>\n

\"RowSome face the river, while others enjoy creek and mountain views<\/p>\n

A mirrored wood-burning sauna, also by \u00d6\u00d6D, is positioned close to the rocky riverbank so that guests can refresh themselves with a natural cold plunge between sessions.<\/p>\n

The cabin accommodation joins 18 guest rooms of various sizes and two suites in the main lodge, which retains its rustic aesthetic with modernised interiors.<\/p>\n

\"GlassEach compact cabin has space for two guests and offers wraparound vistas<\/p>\n

There are also four houses with two or three bedrooms that families and larger groups can rent out \u2013 two of which are newly constructed, Otter Point and Fern Creek Cottage, which join existing residences River House and Osprey Bend.<\/p>\n

“With unparalleled views of the river and amenities designed to relax as a group, each charming lodge is outfitted with modern fixtures, and include expansive common areas like a wrap-around furnished deck with outdoor soaking tubs,” the team said.<\/p>\n

The main lodge includes a restaurant led by executive chef Derek Piva, which operates a “wilderness to table” ethos that highlights Pacific Northwest farmers and businesses.<\/p>\n

Dining is available inside the wood-lined structure, beside a cosy stone fireplace, or out on a patio that overlooks the river.<\/p>\n

The outdoor swimming pool below also enjoys views of the water and the forested mountains beyond, which offer hiking, kayaking, fishing, birdwatching and river tours.<\/p>\n

“Modelled after the natural textures of the Pacific Northwest, each element of the property is designed to envelop guests in nature,” said the team.<\/p>\n

Prefabricated mirrored cabins are popular for rural hotels because they’re easy to install on most terrain and blend into the landscape, though opponents regularly voice concerns that they’re potentially harmful to wildlife.<\/p>\n

Other examples of their use around the world can be found at a glamping site in Quebec<\/a>, a mountain retreat in China’s Hubei province<\/a>, and a vineyard in Uruguay<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A collection of reflective cabins designed by prefabricated housing company \u00d6\u00d6D have been added to the site of…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":35480,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[31],"tags":[307,304,305,306,27530,27531,308,93,15940,61,60,27529,15196,814,815,812],"class_list":{"0":"post-35479","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-arts-and-design","8":"tag-arts","9":"tag-arts-and-design","10":"tag-artsanddesign","11":"tag-artsdesign","12":"tag-boutique-hotels","13":"tag-cabin-hotels","14":"tag-design","15":"tag-entertainment","16":"tag-hotels","17":"tag-ie","18":"tag-ireland","19":"tag-mirrored-buildings","20":"tag-oregon","21":"tag-sectionall","22":"tag-sectionarchitecture","23":"tag-usa"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35479","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=35479"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35479\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/35480"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=35479"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=35479"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=35479"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
