Welcome to Forum City! On today’s agenda we have a discussion about a wonderful cabin in the woods, built in a modern Japanese style. Have you ever dreamed of having a cabin in the woods? If so, the small wooden house designed by Oregon kayaking and Brian Schulz might be perfect for you. Of course you can not live in it permanently, but we are sure that it is a great solution for everyone who wants to take a break from the bustle of the city. An important feature of the Cabin in the Woods is that it’s assembled entirely from local materials and for only $11,000.
Wanting to give the house a Japanese feel, the designer used beautiful lanterns, bamboo plantings and unique oriental decor, while trying to be as natural as possible. With a simple kitchen, comfortable living space, spacious bedroom and wooden staircase, the project demonstrates the virtues of inexpensive and affordable architecture. The cedar furniture and outdoor toilet add special charm.
“The forest cabin is a combination of my passion for small spaces, my love of local materials and my fascination with traditional Japanese architecture. I really found different things everywhere, sometimes even high-end; with the project using principles that make traditional tea houses very appealing,” – Oregon kayak.
This sounds like an amazing accomplishment! I’m curious to know more about the home. How was it possible to build such a wonderful home for only $11,000? And what exactly were the local materials used for its construction? Additionally, how does this home cater to the needs and lifestyle of a hermit from Oregon who enjoys kayaking?
