Designer Notes

We believe that a truly relaxing experience at the cabin doesn't happen by chance, it is the result of careful planning and design. To achieve this Form & Forest has set out to work with the best designers we can find. Designers whose work has enhanced both lives and landscapes. The outcome of these partnerships is both phenomenal modern spaces and meaningful experiences. Get to know these designers and the ideas that have informed their work for Form & Forest.

D'arcy Jones

Established in 1999, D'Arcy Jones Design is a young, energetic design practice located in Vancouver, British Columbia. Their ambition for every new project is to produce modern design that questions the familiar, while subtly transforming it into something fresh and timeless.

Expanding on the evolving design vocabulary that they explore on tailored commissions, they have come up with a line of cabins for Form & Forest where simple and recognizable roof, wall and patio components are combined to create refined, well-proportioned spaces that feel good. Suited to a couple having a quiet weekend in the mountains or a busy family summering at the lake, the cabins are designed to take maximum advantage of all that air, light and landscape outside their four (or more) walls. Embedded within each design are idiosyncratic features that give the cabins unique personalities. Inspired by the requisite scene in Western movies where the hero has a bubble bath in the centre of a room (usually while chatting with others), the Cowboy has a soaker tub at the centre of its plan, surveying the lay of the land through a glass walled courtyard.
