Yesterday’s log cabin post reminded me of another little cabin I have a thing for. I came across this cabin in a magazine about 8 years ago, ripped out the article and threw it in my design file. Surprisingly enough, it was still there when I went to look it. I’m happy I kept it because I can’t seem to find anything about it on the Internet.
This little cabin, designed by Jim Smith is a tiny 186 square feet. I’m purely guessing the year but think in 2001, it won the Denver Chapter American Institute of Architects Citation Award. Literally, I can’t find anything about this cabin anywhere. Not even on AIA’s website or via the Architect’s name.
Just 15 miles north of Cotopaxi, Colorado the cabin resides on what used to be an elk ranch. The composition of materials; cedar, ash plywood and galvanized steel were selected for their durability and because they have a connection with the past. The structure’s silhouette is designed to evoke a feeling of a 150 year old settlers’ cabin that is local to the area.
If you know about this cabin, I would love to hear more.
AND, if you haven’t had a chance yet, check out my first ever give away. You can find it here!

That cabin is amazing! I’d live in it for sure! :) Hope you can find out more about it. Impressed that you still had the tear out! I started an inspiration file a while back and I’m wondering what I did with it! ;)
What a great cabin!
