A Crib Away From Your…Other Crib

Your grandfather was a great man. A real man. A salt of the earth kind of guy who built his family a log cabin in the woods with his bare hands, one splintery log at a time. An admirable feat indeed, but frankly, you just don’t have that kind of time. Enter The Crib. A green, sustainable building kit that can be fabricated offsite, transported and quickly assembled wherever you want, to serve as a weekend cabin, backyard office, studio, or guest house. Its simple structural concept means that you can determine the size of your Crib, from The Basic at 175 sq. ft. of habitable space and 140 sq ft. of deck space, to the Full Crib, at 250 sq. ft. plus optional loft space, and lower level area, or to the mambo jambo Extended Crib, with a total of 650 total sq. ft., including a deck, loft, 2 optional bathrooms, an optional lower level and floor hatch and ladder to connect the two. All you need to do is build a simple foundation (or pay someone else to do it), and voila! Make it as fancy as you want, with a fireplace and/or electric or hydronic radiant floor system, solar or photovoltaics hot water, LED lighting, and an energy efficient ceiling fan. Don’t like your neighbors? Pick up and move—the entire building can be dismantled and relocated to another site. We’re sure Grandpapa would approve.
