Thank you.

Clever planning serrot. This should be ideal for comfortable single occupancy, particularly students.

Thank you, glad you like it.

Really like your presentation. Can't imagine living in something that small.

This unit is 200 sqft, my last apartment was a studio that was 209 sqft with seven foot ceilings, you adapt.

@nameispalmer said:

It looks too much tiny, I would say, but nevertheless, you've done a great work on that!

Yes, it is tiny because it is a micro apartment.

I've been following the micro apartment,tiny house movement for some time now so i decided to give it a try. The building consist of 50 identical micro units with aprox. 200 sqft. in size each with 9ft ceilings.
Instead of using multi purpose furniture the units are visually divided into four areas, entry/kitchen, bathroom, living, sleeping, with the sleeping alcove wide enough to house a full size bed on a platform, also i visually separated the entry/kitchen from the living space by dropping the living room floor two steps.
As always comments are welcome.
Thanks

Really nice design, Hector. I like the contemporary approach you took (as opposed to the ubiquitous logs). You'll probably need a few diagonals on those steel columns. A few comments.

1. consider introducing another species of wood. I once stayed in a cabin where the entire interior (doors, walls, cabinets, ceilings, etc.) were the same wood. It was nice wood, but overkill.
2. bathrooms tend to be very humid places at times, so you might reconsider the wood walls in there.
3. making a full sized bed that's pushed up against a wall aint easy - you might consider adding a few feet to those bedrooms.
4. How does one get down to the river to go tubing?

Daniel, how good to hear from you! so glad you like it, i will take into consideration your comments
NO 4 What river?

Great design and presentation. I often forget how powerful the basic SketchUp texturing and lighting is.

Thank you, call me a purist but i feel that once i give my design to a render program then the finished drawing stops being mine, i prefer to keep it pure Sketchup.

Great job. Had to chuckle at the "cabin" in the title. Doesn't really look like the cabins in the places I've lived.

Yes, that was the idea, to not look like any other cabin out there.

The client, myself,
First level, 2 bedrooms and a bathroom
Middle level, kitchen, eat/ studio, terrace
Lower level, living room, catwalk.
I wanted the cabin to feel strong, safe, cocooned.

Comments are welcome.

Nice work mate The Rockets on the wall look like they were the inspiration behind the Juicer by Philippe Starck

So true! my all time favorite kitchen tool/work of art.

@daniel said:

The cabriole legs on that dining table don't look very Bauhaus.
Nice job, Hector.

Well, a bit of eclectic to mix it up a bit.

I really enjoy your posts, your houses are so cool. Last weekend my family and me were visiting the Frank Lloyd Wright’s Fallingwater house and remember your post based on that house.

I also would like to ask you to use the section plane tool to create your floor plans, they will show all opening (windows, doors..) more clear and easy to follow all your detailed perspectives.

Waiting new houses

Thank you for all the "Likes" I appreciate it.

Was home for a few days, sick, bored, so I designed a very small ( 750 SQ FT ) Bauhaus inspired house then filled it with Mid Century furnishings, just to pass the time.

1041 views! thanks to all of you for checking out my drawings, i really appreciate it, and as always, comments are welcome.

Nice, I like, a lot.

Thank you Mike, it was fun designing it.

Thank you.

This is for my buddy Sarge, the design of a 1920s Hollywood Spanish Colonial style 2 bed 2 1/2 bath to fit an existing lot measuring 63ft w by 136ft deep.
The brief was fairly simple, give the house and floor plan the look and feel of a California Spanish colonial house without ending up looking like a La Quinta Motel. A few request per Sarge, a dressing room as large as the master bedroom, a small soaking pool in the back court, a formal dinning room with room for a chandelier, total privacy from the neighbors on the back court.
