This Architect Built a 20m² Red Cabin on Her Family’s Greek Vineyard — and It’s the Antidote to Every Concrete Villa on the Island
Somewhere between the olive groves and vine rows of Zakynthos, a deep-red timber cabin sits quietly in the Greek countryside, and it’s one of the most considered small structures to come out of Europe this year. The Root Cabin, designed by London-based studio Kasawoo, is a 20-square-metre prefabricated retreat that challenges the very idea of what a holiday home in Greece should look like.
The project is personal. Co-founder Katie Kasabalis owns the land in the village of Vanato, a site that has been in her family for decades and still holds the ruins of her grandmother’s old stone house. Together with co-founder Darius Woo, she set out to build something that felt of the place rather than imposed on it. The result sits at just 2.5 by 8 metres, slipping gently between rows of vines without disrupting the agricultural and historical fabric of the land.
Designer: Kasawoo
Built off-site in Romania and transported to Zakynthos fully prefabricated, the cabin is road-legal and designed to be relocatable, a detail that speaks directly to its low-intervention philosophy. “Nothing is superfluous,” the architects told Dezeen. “The project’s generosity lies in what it refuses to add.” In a part of Greece where sprawling concrete villas are accelerating across the countryside, that kind of restraint is quietly radical.
The exterior is wrapped in deep-red timber planks, a shade drawn from the historic villas of Zakynthos, and topped with a gently angled roofline that echoes the island’s mountainous horizon. It’s a structure that has absorbed its context rather than competed with it. Inside, the atmosphere shifts to something warmer and more immediate. Plywood lines the walls, ceilings, and all built-in furniture, creating a near-seamless, cocoon-like interior in which a bed, compact kitchen, sofa, and bookshelves are integrated into the structure.
The layout places the bedroom and bathroom at opposite ends, with a central living space defined by large sliding glass doors that open directly onto the landscape. Red details carry through from the exterior, while the bathroom shifts to soft blue tones, a quiet nod to the Ionian Sea nearby. Objects sourced from Greek makers, including ceramics and textiles, add another layer of local grounding to a space that already feels deeply rooted.
Passive ventilation and operable openings allow the cabin to function off-grid, reinforcing what Kasawoo describes as a “different kind of luxury,” one that measures itself not by square footage or spectacle, but by the quality of what’s been left out.

LUV1 modular bike replaces your car for daily errands with 120L storage and swappable batteries
Most electric motorcycles still behave like motorcycles first and utility machines second. They chase performance numbers, oversized displays, or aggressive styling while ignoring a simple reality: most urban riders just want something practical enough to replace short car trips. The ANY LUV1 approaches the problem differently. Instead of behaving like a sportbike with batteries attached, it feels more like a compact urban tool designed around everyday life.
Created by Belgian startup ANY Mobility, LUV1 is sandwiched somewhere between an electric scooter, cargo bike, and lightweight motorcycle. The company calls it a “Life Utility Vehicle,” and the name makes sense once you look beyond the styling. Nearly every part of the vehicle revolves around usability, whether that means carrying groceries, office gear, camera equipment, or handling the kind of short-distance errands people usually default to using a car for.
Designer: ANY Mobility
That practicality starts with its packaging. The integrated cargo compartment offers 120 liters of storage, which is significantly more useful than the tiny under-seat compartments found on most scooters. It is large enough to carry shopping bags, delivery equipment, or a backpack and helmet without forcing riders to strap everything externally. Front and rear cargo racks expand that flexibility further, while configurable dividers allow owners to organize storage depending on the task at hand.
The modular approach is where the concept becomes genuinely interesting. Instead of locking owners into one fixed setup, the LUV1 can be customized with interchangeable body panels, seating layouts, storage accessories, and optional weather protection. One configuration can prioritize cargo hauling during the week while another leans toward casual commuting on weekends. It follows the same logic that made modular furniture and adaptable workspaces appealing: people increasingly want products that evolve with their routines rather than forcing routines around the product.
Visually, the bike avoids the exaggerated “future mobility” look many startups lean on. The clean bodywork and restrained surfacing come from Granstudio, the Italian design firm led by former Pininfarina design director Lowie Vermeersch. That design pedigree shows in the proportions and detailing. Even functional components like the storage compartments and structural frame feel integrated into the design rather than added as an afterthought.
Underneath the bodywork sits a modular aluminum chassis produced using high-pressure die-casting, a manufacturing method more commonly associated with larger automotive companies. The setup helps reduce complexity while providing the platform with enough flexibility to support various accessories and future configurations. Power comes from an 11 kW rear hub motor paired with dual swappable lithium-ion battery packs totaling 6.5 kWh. ANY Mobility claims a range of 68 to 87 miles, depending on use, while the top speed is rated at 62 mph, making the bike suitable for both dense city streets and suburban commuting. Charging the batteries through a standard 220V outlet reportedly takes under four hours.
The LUV1 also keeps accessibility in mind. It weighs around 352 pounds and features a relatively approachable 30.9-inch seat height, making low-speed maneuvering less intimidating for newer riders and shorter commuters alike. According to reports, the company expects pricing to fall between €7,000 and €10,000 (approximately $8,150 – $11,600) depending on configuration, and reservations have already opened ahead of production plans.
What makes the ANY LUV1 stand out is not raw performance or futuristic gimmicks, but how realistically it understands modern urban mobility. Most people are not looking for an electric motorcycle to replace weekend entertainment. They are looking for something convenient enough to replace unnecessary car usage, and the LUV1 feels designed precisely around that idea.
