Fresh Air Everywhere: 10 Cabins Around the Globe

Here’s a glimpse at some of our favorite Remodelista cabins of all time, from Italy to Sweden and Canada to New Zealand.

Above: This 380-square-foot holiday retreat in the Italian Alps is clad in wood indoors and out. See the rest in A Modern Ski House in the Alps.

Above: Swedish architect Erik Persson moved an old barn to a new location and made it his summer house. Here, the green-and-cream living room is anchored by a Børge Mogensen sofa. See the home’s red exterior in Scandinavian Simplicity: A Reimagined Swedish Summerhouse.

Above: A cabin in Devon, England, by Brit designer Rupert McKelvie is available for rent by the night. Learn more in The Off-the-Grid Riverside Cabin, Rental Edition.

Above: Almost unbelievably, this Dutch cabin sits in a public city park, where small plots are rented to anyone wishing to garden. Its poplar planks are easy to disassemble and the cabin uses no electricity. For more, see A Tiny Garden Cabin in the Netherlands.

Above: In a weathered cabin on the Swedish island of Gotland, a whitewashed wood kitchen houses a ladder to the sleeping loft. See more in House Call: Cottage in Gotland.

Above: Also on Gotland, a sleek but simple dining room overlooks the Baltic Sea. Read about the architects’ minimal intent in An Austere Retreat on an Ancient Shoreline.

Above: A one-room cabin in British Columbia packs all the necessities into one room: kitchen, living, toilet, and bed. Take a look at the outdoor shower in A Master Architect Builds a Tiny Cabin in the Pacific Northwest.

Above: Bohemian-nautical decor fills a small summer cabin just a boat ride away from Stockholm, featured in House Call: Swedish Cabin.

Above: Spend the night in a 16th-century Alpine log house in Switzerland’s Upper Valais, refurbished with a modern kitchen and baths. For more, see In Switzerland, an Alpine Retreat for Rent.

Above: One of two small cabins on a remote estuary in New Zealand is painted black inside and out; the other cabin is light inside. See them both in Top of the Lake: Tiny Cabins in Dark and Light.
