About The House Plan
Ideal for rural lots, the modern cabin is a small home that maximizes space through an open floor plan and well organized spaces. Emphasis has been placed on passive solar design techniques. These techniques include large shaded glazing areas that can be oriented for southern exposure. Its materials and method of construction emphasize durability, energy efficiency and modern design. The metal roof and weather resistant cedar plank siding will stand the test of time against the elements.

The Modern Cabin hosts two generous bedrooms, one full bath with laundry, a large common area and access to a back yard deck. An entire wall of built in casework offers a multi-functional space for storage and entertainment. Opening the large folding door creates a unique transitional space between living space and the outdoors.

To maximize passive solar gains the form of the Modern Cabin is rectangular with the largest areas of glass on one of the long faces of the house. These large glazing areas are also shaded through the use of covered entryways or exterior mounted sliding window shades. An important goal during the design of this Modern Cabin was choosing durable materials that are commonly associated with cabin design but use them in a way that would give the house a modern character.
