British Firm Designs The Cabin We Want For Indulgent Sunshine Coast Isolation

out-of-the-valley-cabin-porch_h

With our city now so laughably unaffordable, thousands of Vancouverites are stuck imagining wonderful homes instead of living in them. “Spaced” is a record of our minds wandering the world of architecture and design, up and away from the unrewarding realities of shoebox condos, dark basement suites, and sweet fuck all on Craigslist.

(via) This oak-framed/trussed and burnt cedar-clad cabin overlooks a meadow on the edge of an isolated patch of woods in Great Britain. It includes a wood-burning stove for heat and rooftop photovoltaic panels to power the lights and convection oven. It was developed by UK firm Out Of The Valley to be of simple construction so that it could built just about anywhere. We’d gladly take ours overlooking a similar meadow on the Sunshine Coast.

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.
