How to Build a 12x20 Cabin on a Budget. Building a cabin yourself is much more economical than buying a prefab storage shed.

How to Build a 12x20 Cabin on a Budget

The cost of materials for this build, including doors and windows, was around $2,200, which was about the same price as the install would have been on one of this large size if I’d purchased it from a hardware store. I know this for a fact because six years ago I bought a 12x16 shed from a well-known company close to where I live and it cost $2,000 for them to build it and drop it off. Today that same building would cost $4,200. With such a big price increase I decided that if I wanted to add a cabin to my property I had to build it myself.

If you decide to do the same, remember to check with your local authorities to make sure you don’t need a permit.

Inspiration for the Tubehotel came from the work of architect Andreas Strauss and Desparkhotel and the need to adapt an inexpensive room for users. The client liked the concept of the pipe hotel and worked with the architect to design a hotel with 20 rooms. Unlike Strauss’ Desparkhotel, tubes were placed on top of each other to create a second story accessed via a staircase to create more density as well as better views for the upper floors. Each tube is 2.44 m wide and 3.50 m long and accommodates a queen bed with space underneath for storage. Custom built end caps provide windows and a door on one side with curtains for privacy. t3arc was responsible for building the first modular set of three tube rooms, while the hotel completed the remaining rooms. . + t3arc + Tubehotel Via ArchDaily Images ©Luis Gordoa.

Oakland Artist Turns Illegally Dumped Garbage Into Homes For Homeless. Greg Kloehn has the eyes of an artist, the hands of a contractor, and a mind to blend the two in the most interesting, and compassionate of ways.

Oakland Artist Turns Illegally Dumped Garbage Into Homes For Homeless

(Published Monday, Jan. 12, 2015) (This story originally published April 2, 2014) Greg Kloehn wonders why it didn’t dawn on him sooner. The West Oakland artist had long been fascinated by the temporary shelters his homeless neighbors created for themselves out of materials they scavenged from the street. So fascinated, in fact, a couple of years ago, Greg decided to give one a try. One week (and $50) later, he had one: a tiny home on wheels, long enough to lie down in, not tall enough to stand in, roughly the size of a compact car. The first small home Greg built sat in his studio for months before he gave it to a homeless woman. And that was that.

Greg had no plans for what to do with it once completed, so the home simply sat in his studio for months.
