A Simple, Beautiful, No Frills Cabin Tucked Away In A Forest In The Netherlands

(via) Monday afternoon cabin dreaming dropped us off at this humble 375 sqft beauty tucked away in The Netherlands’ Noorderpark. Designed by Amsterdam’s CC-Studio and built to shelter the volunteers who work there, it’s hidden away in a small forest meadow with two sliding doors opening a complete corner so as to bring the outside in (and vice versa) in controlled measure. Despite what appears to be the inclusion of a kithcen space, there’s no running water or electricity. For warmth, there’s a concrete-encased, wood-fired fireplace. So simple and beautiful!

EVERY COOL THING WE WANT

SPACED // Tiny ‘Nature Villa’ in the Woods

It lacks a kitchen but we'd happily cook over a fire nearby just so we could sleep in that bed and hang on that deck...

Contemplating Life on a Handmade ‘Floating Island’

The big deck holds a BBQ, a herb garden, a hammock, and several other wonderful things besides (like a baby blue canoe).

We’d Like to Self-Isolate in This Off-Grid Tiny House on the Other Side of the World

To be able to escape the city for the sake of social distancing is a dream worth having in these weird and dangerous times.

We Dig These Cabins Designed For Sustaining Good Times in the Wild

The cool and remote constructions take full advantage of photovoltaic panels, grey/black water treatment and rainwater collection.
