Jeff Waldman and Molly Fiffer of cabin studio Elevated Spaces are again building woodland cabins, with the latest being a particularly dreamy A-frame micro cabin with a translucent roof. After wrapping R&R on the design at their Santa Cruz adjacent property, the two are now releasing its corresponding plans package to inspire fellow DIY cabin dreamers.
Designed specifically for novice builders interested in diving into cabin creation, the DIY plans (available now for just $60) cover all materials needed to bring the project to life—from nails and plywood to roofing and even the front door—for an estimated cost of just $2,500. Amazingly, this puppy is affordable.
The Elevated Spaces team is best known for their celebrated Redwood Cabin that sadly burned down in California's 2020 wildfires, as well as their other hand-built projects like outhouses, decks, tree forts, and more. They also have an active Instagram presence, where they share honest anecdotes about their building process, which often includes a crowd of acquaintances and friends. The construction of their newest A-frame continues a slow return to building on their property, and lucky for us, we can join in by building our own.
