The PT Cabin is a 1,500 sq. ft. cottage with covered and open exterior decks — designed for those who want a full-time residence or a generous retreat with room to breathe. Two exterior decks capitalize on views, while the upper level opens to 360-degree windows that blend exterior and interior. The main floor houses a living space, bedroom, and bathroom; the upper level holds the kitchen, dining area, and expansive covered deck. DIY-friendly and built for off-grid living, this design prioritizes high-performance construction, healthy materials, and deep connection to nature.
