baarn Prairie Cabin
BAARN Prairie Cabin
BAARN Prairie Cabin is part of the tiny house movement where simpler living in a smaller more efficient space is desired.
This BAARN house type has been designed to be built under Permitted Development Rights which avoid Planning fees and saves on time - but is still built to full Building Regulation standards.
BAARN Prairie Cabin can also be used as a home office, studio, or as a wing of a larger house to avoid renting costs during construction.
BAARN Prairie Cabin - the floor plan
The interior of BAARN Prairie Cabin is flexible with a central sleeping, dining and seating area.
The service spaces of the Shower room and Kitchen are tucked neatly down one side of the building with the entrance veranda down the other side.
Generous storage spaces are hidden within the ceiling voids and the central roof lights at the ridge provide ample sunlight into the building.
