This little, modern cabin – located in the San Juan Islands in Washington – is a private retreat for the owners and their guests. I think it would make a great tiny house that can be battened down from the elements and when you are gone for a few days.
The cabin was designed and built by Olson Kundig Architects, the designers of the Rolling Huts. Three sides of the cabin have custom-designed Shutter-Decks, designed in collaboration with Turner Exhibits. The Shutter-Decks lower to become an outdoor living space and rise to provide privacy for the occupants and to secure the cabin when it is unoccupied. The south Shutter-Deck can be opened independently of the other two, while an interior fireplace can be rotated 180 degrees to be enjoyed from the exterior.

Wow, I like this! I’d like it even better if it was made with more visible wood framing (Japanese castle style?)and had a deck up top too. Throw in a couple of old cannons mounted up there and now you’re talking! Pull up the drawbridge and prepare to repel invaders!
I really love the work of this company as well, unfortunately they do not respond to e-mails or give the slightest idea of pricing. I had e-mailed them about the rolling huts many times and never got a response.
I love their work!
Could you ask your writers to show the kitchen, bath and mechanics when they photograph. And perhaps floor plans? The more specific the info, the better. Even The approximate size would help for those of us who are in the planning and design phases.
I mean for all of the articles not just this one.
Jeff and Elizabeth. I think that Olsen Kundig is in the business of custom homes and cabins and are probably not looking in to going into mass production with their designs. These photos are from the firm’s website and this is a private home. Kent and I try to get as much information as possible for each tiny house, but you’re right Jeff, some companies are not interested in accepting new business.
Thanks Christina, I fully understand, and you guys do a fantastic job of posting unique and wonderfull homes. I also understand each one of their projects are custom and I appreciate that as well, and that is exactly the reason I contacted them. Maybe they dont need anymore business?
now we talking. nice work.
Just another example of what’s not available.
Spending this much time and effort trying to get answers reminds me of viewing concept car sights… no answers leaving me trustrated. I will be taking these picks to a builder who will give me free time to discuse. Can U do this build? if so lets talk:
1. size
2. custom options
3. cost
4. gun turrets… heehehe
This is a blog writing about this company, not the manufacturer’s website, so I would suggest contacting them via the links in the article.
