Written by Materials and Construction
The cabin is built primarily from high-quality plywood, supported by a reinforced metal beam foundation. This combination provides strength, flexibility, and durability while keeping the structure lightweight and efficient.
Build Time
The entire cabin was constructed in 12 days by a two-person team, demonstrating an efficient and low-impact building process.
Cost
Total construction cost was under 30,000 PHP (approximately $700 USD), making the project highly cost-effective and accessible for small-scale, community, or experimental builds.
Structural Safety and Earthquake Resistance
The cabin is designed to be earthquake-resistant. It has already experienced several seismic events, during which the structure successfully absorbed and dampened ground movement. As a result, earthquakes are barely noticeable inside the cabin, enhancing occupant safety and comfort.
Lifespan and Maintenance
With proper care, the cabin has an estimated lifespan of up to 100 years. Regular monitoring and preventative treatment for insects and fungal growth are essential to maintaining structural integrity over time.
Sustainability and Use
The lightweight construction reduces material use and foundation impact, while the durable design supports long-term use as a private retreat, creative space, or small dwelling.
Includes a built-in faucet with under-cabinet storage and a portable stove for basic cooking and meal preparation.
Tables positioned to take full advantage of the cabin’s view, with sliding curtains to adjust light and privacy as needed. Ideal for dining, working, or enjoying the scenery in comfort.
