Off-Grid Flat-Packed Houses Can Be Assembled Like A Piece Of Furniture http://ift.tt/2nyxTcG Off-Grid Flat-Packed Houses Can Be Assembled Like A Piece Of FurnitureLeckie Studio has designed two different models of a cabin for those interested in constructing a home on their own Outdoor recreational structures don’t come easy. It takes a large investment to get a construction crew to head out into the wilderness to build the structure, not to mention the supplies and time spent there. Leckie Studio, an architecture and design company based in Vancouver, wants to help with that with their creation of a new series of modular cabins. Essentially, they prepare the materials of the structure in a way that allows untrained workers to put the locations together themselves, similar to how Ikea gets its customers to build furniture at home themselves. Leckie Studio created two different models, Backcountry and Frontcountry. Backcountry is designed for outdoor enthusiasts who want a cabin or those who want to get away from the daily grind. The Frontcountry model has a few more features than the former, as it was designed to fit in an urban environment with several other houses and feel more like a full-time residence than a cabin. These modular cabins fit with the Tiny House movement, with residents choosing to own smaller homes rather than paying rent to an apartment or paying off a mortgage. Both models have two floors with sleeping arrangements on top. Other amenities include a lounge, kitchen, dining area, and a bathroom. The models differ with the Backcountry design having a bunk bed area for larger groups to stay there and a simplistic downstairs area for residents to socialize at. The Frontcountry cabin can have one or two bedrooms for permanent residents with more comfortable interior designs to make it feel closer to a home. The architecture studio had the idea of owners constructing the models the same way a community would get together to help a neighbor, or friend, build a barn by asking volunteers to assist them. This forced the studio to insure the pieces were easy for anyone to work with. All of the materials used in the house can get lifted by hand or hoisted into place using a pulley and winch system. Those interest in their own prefabricated structure by Leckie Studio can email the project to receive a quote, which varies based on location.
