Budget- and Earth-Friendly Farmhouse Cabins

When these families decided to build custom cabins, they reached out to our team about re-using existing materials to create a budget-friendly, efficient space. We rose to the challenge in making a cozy retreat.

For one cabin, the unique shape of this barn-like structure provides a two-story wall where we installed tall, long windows that showcase a gorgeous view of the nearby river. We helped the homeowners decide on traditional stairs from the first to second floor, with a landing half-way up for ease of use and safety, in lieu of a loft ladder.

For the other cabin, the homeowner was particularly concerned about ensuring the building and its occupants would be safe in severe weather. We built an interior room without windows where the family can shelter in place, and used heavy duty fasteners on the building framing where it attaches to the concrete base to ensure the cabin is secure for many years to come. We also used ¾ inch plywood to increase rigidity and add strength to the windowless interior storm shelter room.

The clients were very satisfied with the unique end-result and excited to start using their budget-friendly, earth-conscious cabin for family getaways!
