System 00 Cabin

You can now create your own modular cabin with a brilliant prefabricated assembly kit by the Backcountry Hut Company (BHC). Their modular prefabricated homes are one of the best options for DIY homesteaders we have ever seen, their attractive little dwellings come in multiple configurations and sizes, and can operate on or off-the-grid. Their System 00 Cabin, is their smallest and most streamlined option. With an A-frame aesthetic, the compact dwelling has a layout of approximately 10 x 10 feet, and comes to life as a single bedroom sleeping bunk. The cabins are said to assemble "like Ikea furniture" and are delivered in flatpack form by truck (or helicopter if you choose a very rural spot). Once delivered, it can easily be put together by lifting the prefabricated walls and roof panels into place using a simple pulley and winch system. Since they are modular, various packs can also be combined to increase the floor area, add bedrooms, etc. These sustainable off-grid getaways are designed to make living in the wilderness a breeze for those wanting to reduce their footprint.

S.K.I. House

The S.K.I. House in Wanaka, New Zealand, designed by Roberts Gray Architects, is a stunning example of modern minimalism rooted in natural beauty. Created for the architect’s parents, the home’s name humorously stands for "spending kids’ inheritance," yet every detail reflects investment in timeless design. From the street, the residence appears as a quiet composition of solid geometric forms and dark screens, but once inside, it opens into sunlit co...

INDUSTRIAL BACHELOR LOFT | BY MAXIM ZHUKOV

Awesome design by Maxim Zhukov for this funky bachelor pad. The place is packed with cool industrial decor, great use of concrete, wood, metal, and exposed brick walls. Also, some giant casters and road signs add to the charm and character of the place. Another great detail is the "floating" work space above the bed accessed by cantilevered stairs. source...
