🥇 Judges’ Comments — 1st Place Winner

This room truly stood out thanks to its layered design and unique shape. From the moment you enter, it draws you in and encourages you to explore at your own pace, discovering the many thoughtful details stacked throughout the build rather than taking everything in at a single glance. There are numerous cosy areas across the room, and each one feels intentional and well-planned. Nothing appears wasted or added simply to fill space. The lighting is especially well executed, adding warmth and atmosphere while naturally guiding your eye through the room. What ultimately pushed this build above the rest was the subtle glimpse of the exterior. This small but impactful detail adds depth and realism, helping sell the idea that this is truly a cabin tucked away in the woods rather than just a standalone interior. Overall, this is a strong and character-filled build with excellent attention to detail and a cosy atmosphere that perfectly fits the theme — a very deserving winner. Winner koh606
