Small Modern River Cabin

Wednesday, April 20th, 2011

This little 600 sq. ft. cabin maximizes it’s space with lots of big windows that are cantilevered to bring the outdoors inside. It’s a great idea that you normally only see in much bigger houses, and it really works.

Oh, and it’s for sale for a cool $4 million!
