Imagine a cozy cabin nestled amidst lush trees, suspended above the forest floor or seamlessly placed on light foundations. A Forest For Rest, designed by Jorge Cobo, redefines flexible living with its fusion of sustainability and adaptability. This prefab tiny house blends the charm of a dream treehouse with the efficiency of a modular home. At its core, A Forest For Rest features a 19.3-square-meter tubular steel frame structure, designed to be either suspended between trees or anchored to minimal foundations. This dual-purpose versatility makes it ideal for a variety of terrains, from dense forests to open landscapes.
The interior, lined entirely with sustainable timber slats, exudes a warm and natural aesthetic. The layout prioritizes comfort and practicality:

Cobo’s design ensures that the cabin remains lightweight yet sturdy, providing an innovative solution for those who seek mobility without compromising comfort.
Eco-Friendly Features
The cabin’s foundation—both literal and metaphorical—rests on sustainability. Timber, the main building material, is 100% sustainable and leaves a remarkably low carbon footprint compared to alternatives like steel, aluminum, or concrete. Key benefits of timber include:
- Energy Efficiency: Minimal fossil fuel usage during manufacturing.
- Safety: Non-toxic, natural, and safe to handle.
For eco-conscious individuals, A Forest For Rest can be further customized with green technologies:
- Solar Panels: Harness clean energy for off-grid living.
- Rainwater Reuse Systems: Reduce water waste by recycling natural rainwater.
- Green Roofs: Enhance insulation and contribute to biodiversity.
- Ground-Coupled Heat Exchanger: Utilize geothermal energy for sustainable heating and cooling.
