Description
Compact Cabins: Simple Living in 1,000 Square Feet Or Less offers 62 design interpretations for a peaceful retreat from everyday life. These small footprint designs range from cozy 100 square feet to spacious 1,000 square feet, providing comfortable living spaces with sleeping accommodations, kitchen and bath facilities, and heat sources. The book features complete chapters on low-maintenance building materials, utilities and appliances, and alternative energy sources, as well as flexible floor plans with detailed suggestions for designing the space. Many designs include modular elements that can be mixed and matched to suit individual needs or hobbies. With a focus on enhancing and maximizing small spaces, this guide is ideal for those looking to build their own compact cabin. For second-home owners in particular, building small is a theme that resonates with concerns about energy costs, global warming, and tighter budgets. Gerald Rowan provides practical advice on achieving the cabin dream on a small footprint.
