Whether your bout of electora nerviosa ended in celebration or mourning, you may be looking for a little peace and quiet. OFIS arhitekti's recently completed winter cabin on Mount Kanin, Slovenia (home country of our next First Lady) is about as isolated as you can get—its materials had to be helicoptered in, and visitors must scale the mountain on foot to reach it.

Once you do, you've got a shelter to view the gorgeous Slovenian and Italian landscape below, all the way to the Adriatic Sea. Don't forget to bring firewood though.

The weather on Mount Kanin can get pretty extreme, snowing up to ten meters in the winter, with snow persisting for over half the year. Not to mention powerful winds, landslides, and earthquakes, as well as numerous caves and abysses. Good thing it sleeps up to nine, enough people to form an undefeated baseball team should you get trapped up there and start going stir-crazy!

​

OFIS sought out the dramatic site with the intent to test its minimal shelter in extreme environments—designing the 9.7 square meter cabin with as small a footprint as possible, while still being hardy enough to withstand the stress of its surroundings.
