I think you will find this modern polygon cabin interesting. And quite possibly a cool place to live.
Built on a concrete foundation this small cabin serves two purposes for the owners. Used as a sculpture studio and to accommodate guests this small space was designed by Jeffrey S. Poss, Architect and WORKUS Studio.
You will see galvanized steel is used as siding that also extends upward where the architects continued the use of this material in a zigzag shape for the roof. The use of red cedar wood on the inside of the studio gives this space a warm feel.
The spacious creative area used to make sculptures is located on the ground floor with the guest room located in the loft. Perched up 130 steps from the edge of Lake George in upstate New York, I could see the beauty in living in this small space. How about you?
There is a powder room (although not pictured here), so all you would need to add is a functional kitchen and you are ready to live here full time. On the lower level in the main space you will see there is built-in storage on one wall for hiding away belongings and large sliding doors on the other side to invite nature in.
These large glass sliding doors provide beautiful views of the lake below and the ability to catch a nice breeze.
Let’s take a look at this one-of-a-kind small space.

You may remember Chris Haynes and his 252 sq. ft. Bodega tiny house with Deek.
If not, just click the link above and you can get the tour of his main house which is just 252 square feet.
Chris built this tiny house first and lived in it for more than a year (completely mortgage-free) with his dog (more on that story in the video below) while he was building his main house.
So now his “guest” house- of course- happens to be just 90 sq. ft. His original tiny cabin.
It was built using the old Tumbleweed XS plans (which I think are normally around 65-square-feet) but he actually built his 1′ wider (90-square-feet) because he built his on a foundation (instead of on a trailer).
Using a Tiny House as a Guest House
I think that’s an awesome micro cabin. In fact, I’ve always wanted to build the XS (I even own a set of the original plans).
What’s also great is that his main house is also relatively tiny at just 252 sq. ft.
Anyway head down below to enjoy the video tour w/ Deek as he also interviews the owner/builder/dweller below:

I always appreciate a garage to studio conversion because they’re usually small and make great use of space.
This is just that… A studio that used to be a garage which was renovated into a tiny guest house.
It has floor heating, cathedral ceilings, a beautiful bathroom and a full sized kitchen ready for you to cook in.
And it’s in Boulder, Colorado! Another reason I really like garage conversions is because they make better use out of a structure that already existed. And this one- as you’ll see below- has been very nicely converted into a studio that I’d enjoy living in.

Could this be the yurt alternative that we have been looking for? Were we even looking for a yurt alternative? Do you want to build a tiny house with just a screw driver? If you’ve ever wanted a plastic yurt this might be the answer for you.
Teal Panels from Teal International Corporation may not be the prettiest things to look at but they are simple and easy to construct. But what about the cost? Each panel costs around $200 so it really depends on how large you want your structure. For those of us looking to go tiny, it could be completely cost effective.
