Single-room Cabin By JacobsChang

The integration into the landscape is one of the project’s goals, which also included being simple enough that two amateur builders could complete it over a weekend. This tiny blackened timber cabin is built on simple concrete posts that anchored into the ground on one end, while the other side relies upon support from the trees. The design features a rectangular volume with a tapering edge on the backside, clad in traditional Scandinavian pine-tar. This contrasts the treatment inside, where the walls were whitewashed and the floors sealed to retain a natural tone. The tiny single-room home accommodates a bed, a wood-burning stove, and a corner kitchen with a table-top burner. Three full-height windows provide plenty of light, allowing for cross-ventilation and direct communion with the 60-acre site.
