Sixty-two designs for stylish, comfortable small cabins, ranging from 100 to 1,000 square feet, include floor plans and design details for sleeping quarters, working kitchens and bathrooms, in a resource that also provides complete coverage of off-the-grid energy sources. Original.
From a 200-square foot personal retreat to off-the-grid passive solar cabins, Rowan (who has taught architecture, art, and graphic design for many years) presents 50 designs for micro, mini, and compact cabins to fit a variety of lifestyles and budgets. For each modular design, he specifies the square footage, features, number it can accommodate, and its adaptability to being off-the-grid. He offers tips and illustrations on design, local building codes, location, logistics, construction materials and methods, and energy efficiency.
