  • Tiny Cabin in the Pacific Northwest

    Architect designed cabin with large sliding steel doors for securing the cabin when alone in the wilderness. Interior is warm with lots of wood.

    “On Salt Spring Island in British Columbia lies a tiny one-room cabin, a finely detailed retreat from Seattle-based Olson Kundig Architects. Its sleek design and kinship with nature make an elegant case for simple living—that, plus the most uncontrived outdoor shower we’ve seen.

  • Namekagon Cabins

    An introduction to Namekagon Cabins, a manufacturer of park model & sleeping cabins located in Northern Wisconsin:

    “The Park Models start out at $34,000.00 and are generally used as a part time seasonal home. They are built with standard construction methods, 2 x 4 walls, 2 x 8 floor joists and engineered roof trusses. Interior consists of pine car siding and dry wall. They also come with functional kitchens and 3/4 baths. Sleeps 4 comfortably.

    Sleeping Cabins start out at $12,000.00. They make for great guest houses, hunting shacks or rentals units for resorts. The sleeping cabins are built using the same techniques as the Park Model cabins. Most sleeping cabins only have electric with no running water within the cabin. They sleep 4 – 6 comfortably usually with a queen bed, bunk bed and a futon. Sleeping cabins can either be built on a trailer or on skids.”

  • Writer’s Haven

    Incredible design and great idea for securing a cabin.

    “Located on San Juan Island, Washington, the intention was to pull the writer into the solace and hum of nature and leave behind all distraction.

    The cabin is glass walled with wooden slats that are raised by a hydraulic system. The slats can be pulled up at night, or raised for security when the occupant is away.”

  • Ryo’s Homestead Update

    I don’t think Ryo has called his place in the mountains of Lassen County, California a homestead before, but he just finished putting in a garden and is settling in for the summer… so homestead just seems right to me. He’s also noodling over building another structure or augmenting the one he build last summer.

  • Container Cabin

    Remote cabins must often be secured while the owner is away to prevent loss of valuables and damage. This little container cabin offers a very practical and secure living space solution. It also shows what can be done with an 8×20 shipping container and some ingenuity.
