I have been interested in small cabins for about 15 years, since I first lived in Oregon. I mentioned the first cabin I saw in Winchester Bay (Oregon) which had formerly been an information booth. It was about 12 ft by 12 ft. There was a small loft space beneath the pitched roof which had been used for storage. I used to walk the dog past this at least two to three times a day. I was in construction in the Army from 1976 to 1982, and I guessed/hoped that I could build something like that, even though most of my experience was with designing/building and repairing airfields.
In 2000 I first saw these very small cabins in Roche Harbor on San Juan Island (about 20 miles from the coast of Washington state).
This floating cabin was in Canada I think.

The Snyders' 1,000-square-foot cabin (above) has a full bathroom, a closed bedroom and two open sleeping lofts. They built the cabin for $200,000 and spent $40,000 more on the energy system, which relies on solar panels and a wind turbine on an 80-foot-high tower.
Jeff and Lois Shelden's Montana cabin resembles a 1930s-era Forest Service lookout and was built using only local or reclaimed materials.
