<\/p>\n
This tiny cabin<\/a> is built on two thick wooden sleds so it can be towed off the beach and out of harm?s way. Designed by Crosson Architects<\/a>,
\n the Hut on Sleds is a holiday home built just over two hours drive from
\n Aukland, New Zealand, and finds its shape inspired by lifeguard towers
\ncommon on beaches around the world. The aesthetic is naturalistic, with
\nunpainted timber evocative of wind and sand-blasted timber of beach-side
\n structures. The fittings and mechanics are industrial and exposed
\ngiving the structure an industrial vibe that is both inviting and
\ninformative. A huge shutter folds up across the exterior to reveal and
\nshade a two-storey glazed facade, which has an open-plan living room and
\n mezzanine bedroom behind. Measuring a mere 40 square metres, the tiny
\ncabin can accommodate a family of five, and is designed to close up
\nagainst the elements when not in use.<\/p>\n
