Modern Lean-to Style Tiny Cabin

Lean-to style modern cabin

Nicely polished version of a lean-to shelter we all learned to make in boy scouts. Amazing job of exterior finishings with the deck and siding wrapping around the more interesting angles of the back wall and roof. The roof, window frames, and foundation all in black create really nice crisp lines for this tiny minimalist cabin

 

“A lean-to shelter is a free standing structure with only three walls and a single-pitched roof. The open side is commonly oriented away from the prevailing winds and rains. Often it is a rough structure made of logs or unfinished wood and used as a camping shelter. Temporary structures made from wood or textiles are also termed lean-to’s if constructed with a single slope of the roof. In some cases the sloping roof extends all the way to the ground thus the roof itself forms the rear wall.”  – Wikipedia
