You may have had your own treehouse as a kid, but we bet it didn’t come with its own full-size skatebowl and suspension bridge. Writer and photographer Foster Huntington (the guy behind the #vanlife movement) relied on a little help from his friends to build this charming one-of-a-kind treehouse.
This industrial crane was long used to load coal from in a harbor in Copenhagen, Denmark. Having been decommissioned, it has been transformed into a tiny luxury retreat – complete with spa.
There’s nothing quite like a classic A-frame cabin and this one’s particularly impressive when you take into account its cost and construction time: just $700 and three weeks, respectively. Built using scrap materials, it sleeps two people and even comes with solar power.
Danish firm Vipp decided to dip its toe into the small living movement with the industrial-looking Vipp Shelter. Described as a “battery charging station for humans,” the prefabricated cabin can be installed anywhere, to offer a luxury off-grid retreat away from it all.
The British shed scene is very similar to the tiny house movement, but more focused on DIY hobbyists. Each year a competition called the Shed of the Year aims to find the country’s best and this year’s winner is this mushroom-shaped tiny cabin.
