The way I would design it (all REAL WOOD and heavy timber) would be a 20' x 20' free standing structural frame (BIG TIMBER).
Walls would be non load bearing... inside features such as lofts, bathrooms, kitchen etc. would be like "adding parts"... and 100% independent from the structure.
If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.
Pretty cool for a vacation home. I could see folks getting over their head during the construction process. Others would breeze right through. I bet they would sell pretty well with a decent marketing plan.
Merry Christmas, Leonard! The Nativity is on my Great Grandma’s old Hoosier cabinet this year, and looking good! Thanks again!
It will sell as a kit... i.e. forklift load on your trailer and YOU BUILD IT.
Just curious is there is a market.
I'd live in it full time if I were not married. Since I am married it needs to be 3 times as large.

There's a guy out here named Terry Foley who has a business selling kits like that. He does some major business, especially in the city, where good lots are few and far between. The quality is excellent.
since I sleep in a tent and even sometimes not for 2-3 months of the year, yes. cabin would be nice.
I think you just have to find your market. some feel a 1500 sq foot house is too small. some too big. some want stuff wasted on design and looks, others want it wasted on being as efficient as can be.
for the most part most folks want way more than they need. thats for sure.

Are these your ads all over Facebook ? or are you just using the AI cabin pic off FB as an example ?
About a dozen of these AI generated cabin interior pics started popping up when I joined a couple cabin and tiny home groups to see what people are building and to get some ideas for my timber framed cabin I'm gearing up to build this Spring/Summer at my shooting range, steel pilings went in last Sept but haven't started building yet due to out of town work all year
Which is fine because plans have changed dramatically from the original idea from last year, lot's of ideas on the board

That's not 20x20. Looks like about 12ft wide. Makes it a bit hard to visualize as the layout would be much different. The pictured cottage looks like it's kind of lightweight construction and might be hard to heat. Heavier duty construction and less glass would make a better hunting camp. Looks more like a nice summer rental.
I could see that as a vacation home or cabin. It would be nice if I could hire some local guy to put it up. One problem maybe: Too many windows, make it easy to break in when you're not in the vacation home.
Don't blame me. I voted for Trump.
Democrats would burn this country to the ground, if they could rule over the ashes.
If you are going to do a kit, may I suggest a size that could be assembled on various sized (decent size) flatbed trailers for those wanting to beat the tax man.

I have all the sources. They can't stop the signal.
Big family, some still at home, some coming to visit. Future grand babies, I'm thinking I'd need to stack 3 or 4 of those together.
If I get a wild streak and go buy a pice of land in the Intermountain rockies to hang out on a few months a year, maybe. Although I suspect it would soon be over run by the big family and it wouldn't be suitable.
You never know what a person's business plan might be.
I leased out a old sketchy farm house really cheap. It was on 20 acres and was huge but had a outhouse, no indoor toilet and it took a 4x4 to get up the driveway in the winter.
Rented it to the same dude for just over 20 years.
My rental rate was based on the property tax bill.
A lot of funky schit going on in those pictures...
It's like one of those find everything that's wrong games.
You'd be on your knees at the top of those stairs.
It appears that the backdoor must push that dangling light fixture outta the way so it don't hit you in the face when you walk in.
That was thoughtful.

Just completed a project out of my town where I lived for 7 months in a one room 16x20 dry cabin with no loft, wasn't too bad since I was working 6/10's & never there during the day, it was a warm box to sleep in and I was pulling in $3k a week
The best part was it's right by the Kenai River, I'd swing by every evening after work and kill 6 reds & by late August I was killing a few silvers also, filled up a 10 cf freezer to the top with clean vacuum sealed fillets, then started giving away fish because I had no room in the freezer, then in late Sept I ganked a nice bull moose . Def made living in a tiny one room cabin a good time, like a paid dream vacation where I got to fish n hunt !
Given those conditions ... I'd volunteer to go do it again !

That cabin is a beauty! Could we see some more photos? Next year I plan on building a hunting camp, either on our hunting club property or on a small piece of property we are in negotiations to buy in the Adirondacks, and I’m always looking for ideas.
If you made it 7 months it must have been all ya really need.
I could make a go of it with 500sf +/-
I wouldn't have the loft, too much useless space to heat with the high ceilings required. My experience has been the lofts are too hot or the lower level too cold, no in-between.
If I was going to waste the energy efficiency it'd be with bigger windows not high ceilings.
Utilizing sloped ground and cutting in a daylight basement to set the cabin on would work well for me. It'd give me room for a laundry and more storage to avoid cluttering up the finished living space.
Maybe even a little indoor all season shop space with a double door entry so I could bomb a quad or snow machine inside for maintenance if needed.
A little basement wood burner could go a long way at heating everything above.

Or 20 x 28 or more. Rectangles are generally more usable than squares in the building world.
20x20 will be the largest...
Could do 16 x 20... or 16 x 16, but "...a 20’ square (400 sq. ft.) happens to be that magic number that’s minimum size for bank financing for some banks and maximum size (even with the loft) to qualify as a tiny home with relaxed code requirements under Virginia building code Appendix Q. Many uses, including primary mini home, accessory dwelling unit, detached office, family room wing, hunting / fishing lodge, etc., etc. "

If you are going to do a kit, may I suggest a size that could be assembled on various sized (decent size) flatbed trailers for those wanting to beat the tax man.
The structure ("kit") will ship on a bumper-pull trailer.
The kit will will be 8 basic parts:
1) Four columns pre-mortised for the beams (columns will be 11" x 11" x 10 feet tall (12' tall for and extra $500)
2) Two 6"x19" beams (blind tenoned). 20' long with 8" tenons on each end.
3) Two 6"x19" beams (2' pass-thru tenoned). 24' long total.
Everything is pre-finished SYP.
Structural loading has about a 2,000% safety factor.
Walls will be SIPS (made to order as an upgrade)... OR stick build your own.
Trusses from 84 Lumber etc. are the responsibility of the owner/installer... OR custom trusses/roofing as an add-on.
The only reason I put up the Fakebook pic grab is so folks can kinda sorta see what our CGI guy will eventually render from a basic structural shell I am building now. Sorry if that confused anyone.

At that price even I could afford that and that size space would be ideal.
Too many windows for me though, I’d feel too vulnerable at night tho I do appreciate that walls are a false security.

You will make BANK whenever this comes to fruition.

Just curious is there is a market.
A couple suggestions: That bed is going to turn off a lot of buyers. For regular use, the bed needs to be accessible from both sides. That's too hard to make and you have to climb over your bed partner to get out. It's too inconvenient for full time use. The bed in our camp trailer is like that and it's a pain. We wouldn't buy it for just that reason. Make the upstairs a viable option for the main bed. The lower floor makes a better office , guest bed, or something.

Outstanding Cash! I'd up it to 450-500 SF (as others have noted, rectangular more friendly). The perfect addition to your Tiny House is a 30x60 pole barn and call it Nirvana.
Seems like an extremely niche market. Poor folks would just convert a prebuilt shed, rich folks would just buy a prebuilt tiny house. Most tiny house people are not the do it yourself type.

Add on an optional large outside shed roof covered porch space that could be turned into a three season space or screened if someone wanted. Would be a great cabin at that point and a nice house for a single guy (well, with a shop/garage)
If something on the internet makes you angry the odds are you're being manipulated
Where's the reloading bench, gun safe, powder/primer magazine, etc.???? Does it come with a workshop, a twin post lift, and a couple of acres to store projects in progress?
Growing up, I lived in places which would make that look like the lap of luxury, so yeah, I could live in it. My house is bigger (24x 44, including the 8x24 addition) but could be described as rustic. Such a build could be constructed of foam core panels, blocks, or could be built as a timber frame with whatever infill is desired; short logs, lightweight frame, whatever. Most people today, can't fit their ego into a small house; let alone their possessions. GD

I’m referring to a cabin that can be assembled onto say a 16’x7’ trailer and live there on the trailer so it is not assessed property tax wise.
In other words, trailer sized cabin kits for a few standard sized flatbeds
I have a small piece of land that I’d like to put a cabin on within the next two years. I looked at small cabins a couple of year ago in hopes to do something sooner. The biggest stumbling block is the lack of a bathroom for when a well and septic are eventually put in. No running water or bathroom are no-goes for bringing my wife.
A small cabin built with a layout that would offer a place to spend time in at a low up front cost and build time with easy add ons for a bathroom and possibly other rooms that didn’t look like afterthoughts. Something that would easily integrate plumbing later would be the holy grail IMO of small cabins.
The foundation cost was the hurdle for me. Digging a foundation for enclosed plumbing. I don’t think I’d want plumbing under an exposed pier foundation or trust a slab and burst pipe issues and then having to do it again with the addition of a bathroom and well/septic a few years later.
Poor design. There is no room for a person to assist another in the event one cannot do it by themselves ! Almost every person will go through this !
So once you get to the point in life that you need someone to hold your dick while you pee you probably shouldn't be living 'off grid'.
Jeff, while I respect your opinion, I still don’t agree. The American Indians lived off grid and they were smart enough to build a big enough Tee Pee. Check on prices of care homes. If you can stay in your own home longer , I’ll take that deal !

Cash, thanks for the kind words! If you want a safe bathroom for all ages, completely water proof entire bathroom floors where you can eliminate the curb on the shower. A person can then use a walker to get in. People fall in bathrooms, Brooken hips. Return fire expected!

That is very helpful commentary...
And I agree with it completely.
The building of Tiny Homes has become substandard... i.e. "A race to the bottom" kinda thing.
BUT... there is a market for folks that want to build stuff themselves (off-grid, separate building (gun room/work shop), hunting cabin et al).
That is the Market I am trying to sell to.
"A plumb, level and square heavy timber frame that you put up yourself (with a basic instruction manual)"... $15k FOB.
Build the walls, roof etc. yourself (we will provide specs on what trusses you will need to buy... how many wall studs etc. kinda thing).
OR...
Have us build them for you... à la carte.
We will even coordinate an "Assembly Crew" (for a fee) on any project.
Interesting product there at Bayside Joinery. We have a local company manufacturing solid beams from 2" material. I should say beams and panels. They're engineered with custom CNC Joinery. There's a few of these operations around, but I've helped hang out a couple of buildings using their products.
I think there's definitely a market for what you're doing. Looking forward to seeing how it progresses.

Kingspan make fantastic (IMP) insulated metal panels ... We've used them for a great number of projects over the years for our wall and roof panels, before Kingspan, there were API panels back in the early 2000's, the original "sandwich panels" as we call them in the field.. simply because of the similarity to the ice cream sandwich.... These days we have several mfg's who make the IMP (Insulated Metal Panels) IE sandwhich panels ... One of the better ones is MTL-Span ... I'm an mfg authorized installer for MTL-Span on Alaska's military bases, the USACE JBER military base where we have done $80 mil projects back in 2014-2016 .. And the Eielson AFB where we built the Hangars for thr F-35 Lightning 2 fighter jets, My current Federally funded project just completed was for the FAA, a small $3mil building that used the "R-Seal" wall and roof insulated panels that did not have the metal outer layers as per KingSpan & MTL-Span, R-Seal is simply a foam panel that is installed on the steel wall girts & roof purlins of building then a metal siding "skin" is layered on top ..... Really cool panels as they are feather light and only require two guys to install since they don't have the metal layers on both sides to add mass weight
R-Seal panels are made in Washington and if any of you need more info I can provide you info for direct contact ....
Anyway, the gist of this post is ... We had some 35 ft 8 inch long x 5" thick 36R roof panels left over after completion of the roofing, I notified the Owner/FAA and they wanted nothing to do with the extra roof panels and left it up to the contractor to remove all extra materials from the site, so I was stuck with them .... I chopped them up into equal lengths of 8 ft 10 3/4" .... All in all with drops & rips I have about 65 LF of (8' 10 3/4" height) wall coverage .... My shooting cabin walls/insulation for my 1k+ shooting range !!!!
Yayy !

Very slick! Not a product I know much about... Thank you for typing all that out and sharing the pics.
I was working on a HDPE SIP... foam filled. Slightly similar to Kingspan... kinda
VERY STRUCTURAL and it would take a nail/screw either side... so siding and drywall was a piece of cake after the layup...
CashisKing: Thank you very much for the quick comeback. I am impressed with that price and that building. Thanks again - gets me thinking/planning. Hold into the wind VarmintGuy

I am in the middle of a shipping container build. I will probably be more per square feet and much smaller. An easy quick build would be interesting. My primary concerns were easy of winterization and keeping vermin out.
I would be interested in watching one go together.
I built this in out yard during Covid, just before lumber prices spiked, added a bathroom later. The building is 12x16 plus a 4x9 bathroom and sleeping loft that holds a king bed. We sleep out there occasionally or when the folks are in town or the occasional guest will opt for the cabin.
Wife and I have a 600 s/f cabin as a rec place. She wants to sell the house in town and move in there. I told her one of us would be found dead within a month.

it depends on his budget and time
Kingspan & MTL Span type of panels are expensive & require a framed shell to install the panels on, are heavy and can't be done solo, but once installed, you have very high R value insulated walls with exterior siding completed at the same time
R-Seal panels are considerably cheaper, very light and extremely simple to install but also require a framed building shell to attach to, then you need to cover with siding, usually light gauge metal siding, these type of panels are ideal for the do-it-yourselfer with limited or no help, the R value is very high and all seams are taped with the included 3M sticky flap on each panel, and rolls of tape are provided, so you get a vapor and water barrier at the same time
the SIP (Structural Insulated Panels) can be assembled as the building frame itself where you get an insulated building when done, will still need to install siding, are costly, can be heavy depending on length/size, would be difficult to work with solo, there are several different types of SIP panels on the market, most need an engineer to draw up building plans in order to build these panels for a Lego block type of installation

Do I think there is a market for that? Hell yes. As I was contemplating what retirement would look like for me a few years ago, one of my options was to buy a parcel in the mountain West and have a small summer home on it. That cabin would have been very appealing as long as it had a restroom. At times too, I considered having something like that on my 10 acre camp in MS. With the latest run in the real estate market, I had to reshuffle my deck in a way that something like that doesn't fit in, but things change, and that could very well fit in again.
