Turnbull Griffin Haesloop has desgined this cozy one-room cabin that encompasses 640 square feet of living space, 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 shielding 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. Continue below to see the rest of this small cabin that lives larger than its footprint…

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 especially love the outdoor copper tub with its idyllic views—what a wonderful spot to melt away your stresses!

Designed to provide an indoor refuge on a site that celebrates outdoor living, the cabin serves as a welcoming gathering place. In addition to the cabin, there is an extensive garden flanked by a bath shed and a sleeping shed, which is ideal for guests.
