This 191-Square-Foot Micro Cabin Is a Dream Island Escape

Located on a prehistoric feeling island in the strait between Vancouver Island and mainland British Columbia, the structure fits nicely into the weather beaten environment, exclusively utilizing natural materials like concrete, steel, and cedar harvest from deadfall on the property.

The inside houses little more than one could truly need at the core—a bed, wood burning stove, kitchenette, and toilet. Highly-Insulated glass helps keep the weather out and heat in during the long, damp rainy season.

A massive weathered steel panel, which will weather and turn the same color as the surrounding rocks and foliage in time, serves as a focal point for the micro cabin. But it’s far from just visual. Hung on barn hinges, the steel sheet can be slid by hand across the glass facade to limit sunlight on the interior, act as a visual shield for the open-air shower, and ultimately, lock up when the owners are elsewhere.

All things considered, 191 square feet on a secluded island sounds pretty dang nice right about now.
