Tilt Loft is a ~1,000 square foot cabin with loft that combines a tilted roofline, open living, and an elevated sleeping loft into a compact, buildable package. The main floor holds a kitchen, dining area, living space, bedroom, and bathroom, while the loft above adds flexible sleeping or studio space. Exterior decks extend the footprint outward, and the angled roof creates dramatic interior volume with generous daylighting. DIY-friendly construction, designed for off-grid living with high-performance envelope details, healthy materials, and deep connection to the landscape.
