the hut

The 600 square foot, off-grid cabin is located on the Dutton Cattle family farm in the Ohio Valley.
The retreat, affectionately called “the Hut,” was inspired by Scandinavian design and the ‘hygge’ mindset. Designed for peace of mind, the overall concept for the retreat demonstrates an emphasis on craft, in a style that we sometimes like to call “country minimalism.”
Therefore, the interior is simple, featuring bleached eastern pine floors and walls clad in white painted lap paneling. The furniture is in neutrals and designed by Scandinavian MCM designers. The pared-back aesthetic allows the outside landscape to be the focus on the interior.
