This cozy one room cabin of 640 square feet was designed by Turnbull Griffin Haesloop, nestled on a remote property in Sonoma County, California. This fabulous retreat was designed to appear as a barn when the sliding wooden doors are closed. When the doors slide open, the cabin opens up to both sides of the site.
The single room structure is divided by casework screens that shield the kitchen on one side and a bed inspired by Thomas Jefferson’s bed at Monticello on the other. The dwelling’s exterior cladding is redwood milled from a reclaimed water tank. The roof is rusted steel. The interior walls are re-sawn Douglas fir with concrete floors and a floating sheetrock ceiling.
What We Love: This cozy one room cabin provides the perfect amount of space for shelter while immersing oneself in nature. The architects did a fabulous job of creating a floor plan where spaces are connected yet delineated courtesy of casework screens. We are especially loving the outdoor copper tub with its idyllic views, what a wonderful spot to melt away your stresses!
