I have this dream of having a house with a long lush secluded garden. At the bottom of it there would be a little self contained home office. A serene space to work, write and create with just the sounds of the rustling trees and birdsong outside…
I think the Diogene Cabin fits the picture perfectly and would make an ideal home office and sanctuary.
Designed by architect Renzo Piano and RPBW for Vitra, Diogene is described as Vitra’s smallest building – but largest product.
Named after the classical Greek philosopher Diogenes, (who is said to have lived in a barrel and rejected worldly luxuries) it looks deceptively simple. But is in fact a fully self sufficient little minimalist house.
