Cynefin (pronounced cuh-neh-vin) is a Welsh word with no exact translation to English. According to Love Lost Words, it means:
It’s an inherent feeling in your soul – a poetic pull to the place you feel bonded to. It describes the interconnectedness of your place of birth and upbringing; of the environment in which you live and feel comfortable in. It’s home.
Frau haus is German and translates as ‘woman house’. The multilingual name given to this space is just perfect. It means so much more than simply calling it a garden room, studio or ‘she-shed’.
Julie, the owner lives in Anglesey (Ynys Môn, in Welsh) She has installed is a cosy log burner, a daybed with a collection of cushions for relaxing and taking in the wonderful views. Her talented husband has created a raised deck outside to enjoy sitting with a cup of tea (or glass of wine) on sunny days. It’s full of wall art, books, plants and flowers and other things that make a room cosy and unique.
Julie, herself, describes it thus:
The Haus is 4×4 meters and has an additional overhang at the back for wood storage and also the rainwater collectors and watering system for the living roof. It’s positioned to take in views we don’t get from the house. If you scroll along the photos, you can see one of the beautiful Anglesey sunsets reflected in the windows.
