Rough and Ready Cabin
Thursday, October 29th, 2009
Wow, I just love this home in Northern California. Made from odds and ends (and a few custom pieces), it functions great and looks awesome! It really blends in with the land.

Hay Bale Napa House
Monday, October 26th, 2009
With the walls constructed from hay bales, you might expect this house in Napa, California to be less elegant than it is. However, modern hay houses can look great – and have some great environmental benefits, too.
Mountain Research Beauty

This gigantic retreat is beautiful and gigantic, but it has one thing I love, and that my cabin will have to have in some way. That’s right, the outdoor bathtub. How awesome would that be?

Peaceful Lake House
Monday, October 19th, 2009
Just by looking at this peaceful lake house I feel more calm and relaxed. Imagine sitting at that table with a cup of coffee and a good book – nice… I’d prefer the interior to be a little less austere, but the location can’t be beat!

Catskills Offgrid Treehouse
Monday, October 19th, 2009
This lovely (and tiny) treehouse was semi-handmade by a group of friends in the Catskill Mountains in upstate New York. It’s off-grid and a great little place – read much more about the building and living conditions in Inhabitat.

Recycled House with Character
Tuesday, October 6th, 2009
Not only does this little cabin look great, but it was built with all recycled materials. Like a cross between a hobbit hole and a gingerbread house, these little dwellings are oozing character. I love ‘em!
Earth Bag Kiva Home
Thursday, October 1st, 2009
I’m a big fan of earth bag homes. Essentially, the walls are built from stacked bags of dirt – it’s that simple. Earth insulates very well, and structurally they are quite sound. Unfortunately here in the Pacific Northwest I think I’d end up with a mud home, but I still like them!
