Unlike most cabins, this one is constructed almost entirely from concrete as opposed to wood. Located in the Swiss Alps near the city Chur, the cabin boasts an usual exterior façade that has been sculpted in such a way so as to mimic the appearance of wood from a distance.The compact retreat has been designed by Georg Nikisch and Selina Walder, is a stark contrast to the more tradition Swiss cabins, which are typically much larger and mainly constructed from wood.” – Niall

Beaver Lodge Cabin
I have since outfitted it with a solar system, shower and furnishings and live in it full time. For the next year or so anyway. The cabin stays pretty warm with the woodstove. It was 23 below a few weeks ago and it was 80 in here! – Fred

Insulated Weekend Cabin in South Africa
Gavin Rooke isn’t an architect or a professional builder; he’s not the sort who figures he can frame up a small weekender and move in in six weeks’ time. But that didn’t keep the 41-year-old Johannesburg art gallerist from taking up a T-square and hammer in 2004 to start work on a 330-square-foot weekend house in tiny Deneysville on the Vaal Dam.” – Dwell

Shari’s House
Here’s another mystery tiny house from Flickr. It looks like they used a lot of reclaimed and found material like the old doors & windows, and variety of siding. Another notable feature is that it sits high above the ground on a steep slope… which must have needed some extra attention to build on that site. This house is part of a larger photo set that includes another interesting looking natural house. Photo by faythelevine.

Camp Luca Vuerich in the Julian Alps
It took just a day for a team of twelve to assemble this 16 m2 (172 sq ft.) cabin at an elevation of 2531 meters (8303 feet). It’s made from prefab panels, trusses, and a floor structure. It sits on 6 concrete piers. The materials were flown in by helicopter; the team made the long hike up.
It was designed by Italian architect Giovanni Pesamosca in memory of the deceased climber Luka Vuerich. It will be used as a refuge for anyone needing a place to rest or take refuge in this part of the Julian Alps.
