Built on a tight budget Salala is a cabin of innovation that challenges the norms of what a small off-grid cabin in the woods can be.<\/p>\n

Composed of a series of repetitive A-frames the large interior space of the cabin maintains a hundred square foot footprint by angling one of the walls into the forest.\u00a0 <\/span>Recognizing the limits of its small footprint the cabin takes advantage its height by including a mezzanine level that has a small bedroom and reading area. Connecting the ground floor, to the vanity area, and up to the mezzanine is a ladder that is incorporated into the structure. Outside the wrap-around deck extends the interior space into an outdoor living room.<\/p>\n

Through the construction of Salala, and under the guidance of their advisor Greg Johnson, Lys Hermanski and Taylor Fahy helped establish the design+build program as a vital part of SALA\u2019s growing curriculum as it continues to prove its importance in student development.<\/p>\n

Salala was designed and built in the spring\/summer of 2015.<\/p>\n
