Long time ago, first explorers arrived to a place which had never been settled before. In a rough conditions, they were trying to conquer this unspoilt, uninhabited land. Villages, where settlers were constructing their very first houses, started to show up. Lengthwise, narrow  buildings called longhouses, became a part of local scenery. In the land where wood was scarce, houses were made of turf and sod with walls of wattle and daub and thatched roof. In the first place longhouse was a home for one family and its cattle and horses which were kept there in the winter. But, as a time went by, new family members were coming and longhouse began to be a place where few genarations lived together. When the night was coming, family gahtered around stone hearth, set in the middle of the longhouse, eating, talking and listening stories.

The main assumption of the project was to create a space where travellers can come togheter, knowing each other by sharing stories. All needed functions are located on the six meter wide ring, which separate external area creating an internal atrium with fireplace in the middle. What a stone hearth in the longhouse  was for the first settlers, the atrium with fireplace will be for travellers. The ring is divided into two parts. First one, permanent construction, and second one, moveable cabins for guests. 

With self-moveable cabins, travellers have an opportunity to choose where they would like to settle down. Whether they want to be alone to admire beauty of nature or with everybody, enjoying company of other people. They can move the cabin using two attached bikes optionally equipped with an electric drive. Single cabins are main ring cut-out and only when they will gather all together around an atrium, they crate entirety.
