Have a look at this design gem by Olson Kundig Architects, as reported on Home DSGN. In what the lead architect, Tom Kundig, describes as a “steel-clad box on stilts,” this retreat cabin manages to comfortably incorporate 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, along with a living room and kitchen, in a mere 1,000 square feet of space. And when the owner is away, the entire facade can be automatically cased in steel shutters, guaranteeing security and protection against the elements.
