One of our San Francisco clients had a dream of building a self- sustaining cabin on 1000 acres of pristine wilderness he owned just West of Mount Lassen. An avid hunter from his days growing up in Colorado, our client had spent years hunting on the property, and sleeping in an old Fleetwood travel trailer. A Nature Conservancy conservation easement prohibited permanent development so we customized two shipping containers off site in Berkeley, then transported the new 'cabin' via truck to the property. Together with the client, we chose an ideal landing spot next to an old creek bed, with sunset views of Black Butte cinder cone (extinct volcano). The cabin is completely off the grid and can be locked up tight when not in use.
specs: 40' L and 24' L steel shipping containers, pvc solar, propane lighting and heating, creek sourced fresh water, natural septic, CPG® commercial grade oven/ range, Dometic® propane fridge, Chicago Faucets® plumbing fixtures, WesternWindows® and Marvin® brand windows, plate steel, reclaimed Douglas fir.
