Tepee

This glamping concept reimagines the traditional tipi through a contemporary lens—its geometry preserved, its materiality transformed. The sculptural frame is composed of engineered timber beams and custom-curved glass, creating a transparent shell that dissolves the boundary between inside and out. Each unit is positioned for unobstructed panoramic views, embracing the surrounding landscape as an essential part of the experience. A small exterior deck with a wood-fired hot tub and open fire pit extends the living space into nature, fostering a seamless transition between comfort and wilderness. The vertical rhythm of the frame evokes a sense of shelter and intimacy, while its openness invites light, sky, and forest in.
