Canadian architecture firm Studio North has completed a charming micro-shelter called the Birdhut. It sleeps two people and its facade is covered in birdhouses to encourage local birds to make it their home.
British architecture firm Studio Weave and collective Bruit du Frigo designed this beautiful raised shelter as part of the Les Refuges Périurbains project, which has installed similar shelters throughout the outskirts of Bordeaux, France. It’s available free of charge to anyone who wants to use it.
The Tragata, by studio Hiboux Architecture, draws inspiration from huts used by Greek farmers during harvesting. What it lacks in amenities it makes up for with charm.
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.
