This $40,000, 260-square-foot tiny cabin is designed to be the perfect escape from city life — see inside

  • Italian designers created a prefab cabin called Mountain Refuge.
  • The modular cabin is about 260 square feet, with the potential to combine several units together.
  • The designers are looking for prefab construction companies to work with to sell the cabin.

Architects Massimo Gnocchi and Paolo Danesi started The Mountain Refuge to deliver their concept for a tiny, modular cabin at affordable prices around the world.

The startup is working towards finding a balance between sustainability and design. The architects told Business Insider that they are actively looking for partnerships with prefab construction companies in the US, Europe, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand to manufacture the cabin on a large scale. They say that they already consider the project a success based on requests and inquiries coming in, and they plan to design more tiny homes in the future.

The tiny cabin with wood finishes and a front deck looks rustic at first, but the slanted roof and minimalist interior give it a modern look, too. It can be hooked up to utilities, or used for an off-grid lifestyle, with some minor adjustments.
