Architecture Wednesday: Off The Grid Cabin

I know very little about this house … other than it’s little … it’s in Kona on the big island of Hawaii … and it’s 100% off-the-grid living.

All the exterior walls are glass, with a center cube that contains a bedroom, two bunks, a literal hallway kitchen and bathroom—for those more darning there is also an outdoor shower.

If you’re feeling claustrophobic in your tiny glass block there is also the wrap-around deck and the landscape to enjoy. I might not like living in this every day, but ass a getaway house this suits my needs.

Plus, you know, Hawaii.

    I find the idea of 'off the grid' very appealing. Totally would live there, outdoor shower and all. I once went RVing and we had to shower outdoors. It was quite the experience, to tell you the truth, and I'm not talking about the crawlers I saw.
    I like the way they have organized the furniture and the colors they've chosen. it looks like an apartment in a high rise. And Hawaii? Sign me up.

    XOXO

    1. I do love the seclusion, though I imagine you're not too far from civilization. Carlos might do a rethink about outdoor showers since his fear of snakes will get the best of him!

  4. I think staying there would basically count as glamping.

    2. This is the kind of "camping" or even glamping, that I could do!

  5. I thought that first picture was a piece of cheese nestled in a whole lot of broccoli. Yes, I would live there! Hawaii is my favorite place to visit. I agree with Sixpence on this one. I don't rightly care what the house looks like, it's Hawaii!

    2. Deedles, now I cannot unsee the cheesy broccoli! But, yeah, I have lived in Hawaii and could find myself living there again.

  7. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this!!!! I'm obsessed with small homes lately...and as I get older...I need less and do do like a lot of space and clutter. This is beyond sweet. I absolutely love the selection choice for the floor and ceilings. What a nice choice to come back too!!!

    1. I love it, too, though not sure I could live in it full-time, but it's perfect for a getaway!

  8. Sorry, no beach. Part of what make Hawaii a paradise are the beaches.

    1. Having lived there, I can attest that you are never really far from a beach.

  9. I could do it---Looks like I have all I need---Outdoor showring does not bother me---There is a bathroom right---As long as I have electricity and WIFI and a little storage I am fine---I will need to see a floor plan before I transfer funds---

    1. I think it's just a glass rectangle with a smaller interior rectangle to form the kitchen, the bedroom, the bunks and, I hope, a bathroom.

    Absolutely perfect. What more do you need? Except for Hawaii .. I'm more of a Nordic girl, but than all the glass might not be very economic (to heat) in winter.

    2. Having spent a great deal of time in Hawaii, I could live there, but then I worry: where on Earth would I vacation!

  11. I like the blue, but it's not for me.

    1. I like it as a vacation spot, but for year-round living it might be too small.

  12. I too love it! Why can't I have something like that to downsize into...small but has such style. I guess I may have to move to Hawaii I surmise.

    1. I think a lot of the charm of this wee house is the location!

  13. While it is indeed lovely, I don't think I would feel safe knowing anyone could see in (probably watched too many horror movies)!

    1. Now all I can think is Horror House!

  14. That is definitely not for me. I have too much stuff, I need walls, not windows.

    1. True, it's definitely a house for a minimalist!

  15. I could live there

  16. It would be okay for a weekend but I wouldn't want to live there. Besides, it can get pretty hot in Hawaii so I am not sure how the glass walls would deal with that. Might be like living in a greenhouse.

  17. Like the way it is surrounded by green.
