The Simplest Reading Cabin To Build
This traveling little library installation from artist Marta Wengorovius and architect Francisco Mateus is a cost-effective and minimal way to add space to your home in a design-savvy fashion. A fulfilling weekend project for almost anyone with basic assembly skills, this small space can be any sort of building you wish it to be. From extra storage to a meditation area to a home office, its uncluttered interior allows for adaptation to any purpose. The compact cabin is more than just a glorified shed, however. Its construction is much more solid and thought-out than a wood frame draped in metal like most sheds tend to be, creating a more permanent feel to the room. In addition, it had nods to habitation, with a finished-wood interior and a skylight in the gabled roof. The “reading cabin” can do much more than just books, and with a simple design and easy construction it’s a cost- and time-efficient way to expand your own home.
