Exterior, Tiny Home Building Type, Prefab Building Type, and Small Home Building Type RIVER BOX
The River Box cabin features a striking living-dining kitchen space on the upper level perched above a master suite on the lower level. This living arrangement is well-suited at the edges of rivers and lakes or other sites where taking advantage of views from a higher vantage point is of utmost importance. This house is also adaptable to steep slopes with the main entry occurring at the upper level. 

​Cantilevering the main floor of the house above a smaller floor below minimizes the building’s footprint and overall impact on the land. This overhang, along with the wide butterfly roof, provides deep shade in the summer and a large catchment area for rainwater harvesting in the wetter months.
