I found this beaut with a simple "rehabbed Airstream" google search...I am cackling to think of what our neighbor's would say!
I have been obsessing a bit over the pre-fab/plot of land idea, particularly since I saw this article on Sunset Magazine's website about a couple who "gets off the grid" in their pre-fab fab cabin.
Pre-fabricated cottage, placed a rugged hill's edge in Oregon.
The couple built "The Signal Shed" for a total of $57,000.00, including the land.
The industrial-rustic cabin does not have electricity or running water. BUT, there are many pre-fab options with all the bells and whistles, like toilets! lights! heat!
The Sunset article included some other excellent pre-fab cabin companies, with some of the choices eclipsing my regular home.
I thought this guy was an excellent option...and costs only a bit more than The Signal Shed.
This teensy cabin, by Modern Shed, starts at $25,000.00. I think it would also be a great backyard retreat...if you (or me) can't afford the land part of the "buy land" section of this plan.

Oh, and side note. You can go pre-fabulous with a space that is certainly not a cabin (see above). Check this one out.
The Rincon by Mamol Radziner pre-fab. It starts at $179,000.00 and includes the deck.
This Mamol Radziner option is anything but a shed.
I highly recommend that you play around on these sites and let your imagination take over! Pool houses, cabanas, yoga retreats, offices, studios, you name it....
In the meantime, I may have to save my pennies and go off the grid in my own backyard....
DWR teepee. I am digging it.
Do any of you gentle readers have a modern pre-fabricated home and/or small structure? I would love to hear about it, if so. Do tell!
Cheers,
JSH

Love the idea of a yoga spot in your own backyard!
ReplyDeleteI really like the Radzinger options. Is it me, or do they have a MCM feel to them?
ReplyDeleteI am so intrigued with this idea, I need to digest it and research it. Fabulous. I love the small space idea; so simple.
ReplyDeleteThe teepee is descriptive of the tribal dance I am doing right now... Set me me up with one of these babies in the desert and I will happily become a mutant denizen, only emerging for supplies. Want. Want. Want it now!!
ReplyDeleteAnd actually looking at these, I think the house we rented in Joshua Tree might have been a prefab, and it was awesome!
Great post... You should check out Rocio Romero's prefab homes -

Thanks for the tip, Paola. I did....UN-believable!
ReplyDeleteTee-pees are notoriously for sale at all times about 10 miles from my house. Not. Kidding.
ReplyDeleteHey there! I'm about to start my own blog and was wondering if you know where the best place to acquire a blog url is? I'm not
ReplyDeleteeven sure if that's what its known as? (I'm new to this) I'm referring to "http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7501140616891435984&postID=4741449018402523358". How do I go about getting one of these for the website I'm creating?
Thanks
