I have a tendency to wish that sculptures, installations and other fictional artistic creations were real. Case in point: this cabin.
Using a nineteenth-century architectural style and vintage building materials, the structure is both homage to the romantic spirit of the Western Myth and a commentary on the arrogance of Westward expansion.
Although this is just an installation, I think it’s a fantastic guest house idea. I do understand the commentary imbedded in such a structure, but I happen to like it aesthetically in its own right.

Social commentary? Bah. I see a cozy reading nook and/or small art studio. 🙂 I need one installed on my house.
Well, the *intention* was social commentary…but I like the aesthetics best myself.
Oh yes, definitely. Urban treehouse?
I would probably hang out in one of those things about 23 hours a day. 🙂
If little dwellings as such are allowed, I can now move to the city!
Great! We can have two cabins attached to the same skyscraper!
Ah, this reminds me of a very small cottage. A Swiss man, Beat Lenel, built it for himself. I love the idea to live in such a tiny house 🙂 Here are some pics & a construction plan: http://www.lenel.ch/cottage-e
That’s really cool! I do love little cabins and cottages, especially when people take the time to build them (instead of using the pre-fab ones).
Good replies in return of this query with real arguments and describing
everything about that.
Great information. Lucky me I discovered your blog by accident (stumbleupon).
I have book-marked it for later!
