Here’s an awesome architect-designed cabin with a fun cubic design. The 10×10 structure is two stories, but the second story has an open loft, so the whole space has grand ceilings. A number of square windows let in natural light.
A kitchenette and seating area take up the first floor, and there’s an outhouse and outdoor shower (available in the warmer months). A large deck gives you a spot to sip your morning coffee while soaking in the views. What do you think of this design?

Architect Kumiko Ouchi wanted to transform her partner’s 1970s apartment into a truly beautiful and functional space. She did an excellent job hiding anything unsightly while still including the necessary things (kitchen electronics, books, a litter box) in her overall design.
By taking out the walls in the apartment and removing a bedroom, she was able to create an open concept space with a large kitchen that still afforded privacy in the bedroom and bathroom. The hallway doubles as office space, and there are two beautiful balconies for plants.
