Daydreaming of finding a cheap plot of land and building a cabin of our own is pretty much half a second full time job for these days. The idea of owning a unique off-grid retreat is beyond compelling for this nature-starved New Yorker. And now, after so many months spent indoors, no doubt you, dear reader, likely share this fantasy.
To stoke the flames, there’s the Grand Cabin A-Frame, a clever, colorful prefab A-Frame house kit by Budapest-based creative studio Hello Wood.
Originally designed to accommodate up to 20 people for use as an off-grid shelter for forward thinking events—the pictured prototype was first built in 2018 by a group of students during the studio’s international summer school and festival, “Cabin Fever”—the expandable structure can just as well stand as a spacious weekend cabin for just one or a family of more.
