Vacations are usually the most awaited period of time for most of us who work throughout a hard year of work. Therefore, trips are planned in detail with a multitude of options.
Each one adapted to the tastes and profile of the traveler who longs for a trip to disconnect from his usual routine. Although sometimes there are exceptions that turn those days of relaxation into an adventure and the prelude to a work project that transforms the professional life of its protagonists.
Nick Olson photographer and his partner Lilah Horwitz, a designer by profession, embarked in the summer of 2012 on an odyssey that would later complement their business plan, becoming their life project, as well as a commitment to their environment.
Established in New York where they run a pop-up business where they offer their handmade designs to a diverse public, they decided to embark on a journey where applying their knowledge they would build a house with recycled materials where they could live an unforgettable experience.
THROUGH THE WINDOWS YOU LIVE THE FOREST
When after a long journey of hundreds of kilometers in their rickety vehicle they arrived at a forest located in the western mountains in the state of Virginia. A place that, due to its extraordinary landscapes, left these two intrepid travelers ecstatic. They did not hesitate for a second to settle in the middle of nature.
Among many other reasons was that there was nothing better than waking up in the morning and feeling the morning dew, in the warmth of a steaming coffee, so they decided to spend the rest of their vacation in a clearing in the forest. They built a cabin using the windows that they found by chance on their way, to which they later added the necessary furniture to create a cozy place to live in contact with nature and to be able to work avoiding the stress of the big apple.
Although it is not a fixed residence, the house of the windows where they spend long periods of time has been acquiring the necessary conditions that guarantee its habitability. Attracted by their story, the audiovisual creators Matt Glass and Jordan Wayne moved with their recording team from their studio Half Cut Tea, living and filming the piece with the couple, a document where Olson and Lilah tell in testimony the reasons that led to the design of the houses of the windows and how their presence has contributed substantially in their professional facet.
