奥斯汀地区的度假租赁公司Elsewhere委托Sean O’Neill设计他们的第一个小屋。其目的是创造一个紧凑的生活空间，提供人们周末集中精力和呼吸新鲜空气所需的一切。建筑师旨在重现德克萨斯门廊的气氛。这是一种宁静的感觉，坐在外面，在热浪、微风和雨中，在屋顶的阴凉下。一面10英尺的折叠玻璃墙使整个生活空间成为一个门廊。
Elsewhere, an Austin-area vacation rental company, commissioned Sean O’Neill to design their first cabin. The goal was to create a compact living space with everything one would need for a weekend of focus and fresh air. The atmosphere the architect aimed to recreate was that of a Texas porch. It’s a serene feeling of sitting outside in the heat, the breeze, and the rain under the shade of a roof. A 10′ folding glass wall allows the entire living space to become a porch.
重要的是，这些小木屋的功能是离网的。这将给客人带来更大的疏离感，并允许定期搬迁。为此，建筑师将小木屋设计在一个拖车底座上，并在车上安装了公用设施。太阳能电池板为照明、热水和wifi提供电力。浴室有一个无水马桶和一个淋浴器和水槽，由机载水箱提供。
It was important the cabins be functional off-grid. This would give guests a greater sense of detachment and allow periodic relocation. To this end, the architect designed the cabin on a trailer base with on-board utilities. Solar panels provide power for lighting, hot water, and wifi. The bathroom has a waterless toilet and a shower and sink fed by an on-board water tank.
在内部，建筑师避免用正常尺寸的房屋家具来填充这个微型空间。相反，他为它配备了集成的、紧凑的、多用途的组件。一个单一的表面从书桌到沙发再到厨房柜台过渡。生活空间和厨房柜台的表面一直延伸到浴室。一块磨砂玻璃板提供了另一侧持续的表面的微弱视野。
On the inside, the architect avoided filling the miniature space with normal-sized house furnishings. Instead, he outfitted it with integrated, compact, multi-purpose components. A singular surface transitions from desk to sofa to kitchen counter. The living space and kitchen counter surface continues into the bathroom. A frosted glass panel provides a faint view of the continued surface on the other side.
