The Design Intent
The Shelter is an exercise in radical simplicity. Distilled to its essence, this 210 sq. ft. cabin is defined by a clean, classic gable roofline and an ultra-efficient footprint.
It is designed to be the functional core of a simplified life—a space that provides everything you need and nothing you don't. The Shelter is the definitive choice for a minimalist personal retreat, a writer's studio, a backyard guest pod, or an elemental ADU.
