Forest Fire Micro Cabin Could Be An Awesome Tiny House

on December 8, 2014

Designed by OH!SOM Architects, this forest fire monitoring micro cabin packs 172 square feet of interior space and a 129-square-foot exterior terrace into a structure perched in an incredible landscape with panoramic views. It was built to watch for wildfires, but it would make for one unforgettable tiny house.

    Stunning! I realize that it’s the Support Station for Smokey Bear so I wasn’t expecting anything grand, inside. But, the outside is fantastic and I love how securely it folds up. 😀

    And L@@K!!! Photos of the interior! LOL

    If they are going to put it on a pedestal then they should make it spin so the catch the sun or shade, view, sunset as needed.
    Not to mention tracking the sun for solar increasing output 25%.
    I’d make more simple opening windows, etc , KIS
