interior finished photos

Each and every board that went into the cabin had to be carried over the river and up the hill. We made thoughtful choices about the size of the cabin and the material selections. The hemlock timber trusses were transported in pieces and assembled on site. The trusses support a roof made of structural insulated panels (SIPs) an efficient combination of both structure and insulation. The roof supports a snow load of 70 pounds per square foot.

The floors, spiral stair, interior doors and claw foot tub are salvaged.
The same material, v-grove pine, was used on both the ceiling and walls. We varied the finish to differentiate walls from ceiling.

another cabin

I'd like to showcase another cabin. This rustic cabin, also in Lincoln, VT, is built on a remote site and accessed by a 75' long pedestrian bridge across the New Haven River. Both the design and construction of the cabin were carefully executed to make the most of the unique site and a tight budget. With a footprint of just over 600 square feet, the small cabin of sustainable design makes efficient use of resources and building materials. The interior of the cabin features locally milled and salvaged wood. The timbers are rough sawn hemlock, the boards on the walls, ceiling and the floors are pine. A south facing door with transom windows lets in lots of daylight.
