Klein Cabin

Climate Proof — How can we build something durable to withstand a variety of harsh environments? What is the ideal cabin for handling large amounts of rain and snow?

A-Frame — The A-frame is the archetypal structure for a cabin. The angled walls double as roofs to easily shed rain and snow. It's perfectly suited for both warm and cold climates and the simple construction system makes it easy to build in remote areas.

Minimizing Unusable Space — By shrinking the lowest points of the roof, the unusable space is reduced and the high ceiling areas are maximized under the ridge. The tapered roof also becomes a funnel for capturing 100% of the rainwater, which can be used for non-potable applications.

Timber Structure — The twist on the classic A-frame is more triangulated and increases the structural efficiency while decreasing the amount of structural timber - lowering cost and making site transport easier.

Klein — The small getaway retreat is designed with the utmost care for living quality and built with the highest standard of craftsmanship.
