Plans by Owen Geiger, Designer, brought to you by Dream Green Homes

Just like the name implies, this cabin design is for remote fishing and hunting camps where it is difficult to transport building materials. It is compact, efficient and easy to build. A sleeping loft is under the high side of a shed roof. Note: Pier footings are shown here for sloping sites, but with earthbags it is usually easier to build right on the ground. Recommended cement board skirting not shown. 283 sq. ft. interior, sleeping loft, 1 bath; 17' x 24'

These plans are available as digital PDF files and are offered by Dr. Owen Geiger as complete and ready to build from. They include necessary elevations, floorplans, cross section details, and other significant construction details; they don’t show every view, every detail — just enough to build. They do not include electrical and plumbing details. The section views explain how everything goes together and should answer your questions about materials. The plans are scaled and dimensioned.

This plan is offered with a complimentary copy of Owen's popular Earthbag Building Guide e-book (92 pages) .

Your purchase includes:

Earthbag Building Guide e-book (92 pages PDF)

Wilderness Cabin Construction Details (5 pages)

7 x 1-page plans including elevation, floor plan and section views

It is the buyer’s responsibility to find out special requirements, such as what alternative building is allowed in your county or what you have to do to get houses permitted. Are there special requirements for foundations, etc.? Do they require an engineer or architect to stamp the plans? It might be a good idea to know these things before ordering plans.

2 bedroom roundhouse plans are available here.
2 story roundhouse above survival shelter plans are available here.

This first cabin would be SO MUCH BETTER if the outside front wall absorbed the porch area - giving much more living space. Maybe more people could use cots or sleeping bags on the floor for a great weekend out of the weather? And, a cramped cabin - even over a weekend - can make tempers flare up! Better to have a larger space all around.

There is a loft area in the cabin for sleeping as well as space inside for a pull out sofa bed. Maybe you could screen in the porch area (depending on the climate) and have an inside/out sleeping arrangement for additional guests? We are in the process of adding some other plans for different-sized structures into the building resources part of the Digital Market, so keep an eye on that too if you're looking for something larger: https://permies.com/f/492/building-resources
