An All-in-One Addition That Comes Prefabricated

Cocoon9’s prefab cabin makes the most of its petite imprint.

Devised as a compact but extremely flexible all-in-one addition, Cocoon9’s prefab cabin illustrates how to make the most out of very little square-footage. The international firm specializes in prefab design and construction. Every model incorporates elements that open up and fold away to increase flexibility and functionality. The models are not only beautiful--they’re also environmentally friendly, employing sustainable materials like FSC certified bamboo, cerused oak and low-e insulated glass with thermally broken aluminum frames to minimize the need for artificial heating and cooling.

The floor-to-ceiling windows also maximize daylight and transparency in areas like the living room, where a pleasing contrast between the bamboo built-in, white lacquer walls and cerused oak flooring unite to create an atmosphere that feels modern but warm and welcoming.

Matte white lacquer is used extensively in the hallway, contrasting softly with the oak flooring. Both light-colored materials make the area appear more spacious.

The cabin features several examples of multi-purpose casework that open and fold away to add extra functionality to each room. In the bedroom, the Resource Furniture bed swivels into a desk configuration; built-in closets work as both bedroom and office storage.

To keep the bathroom light and reflective, Cocoon9 chose marble mosaics for the walls, broken up by sleek black fixtures to add a bold sensibility to the space. The scheme is a departure from the rest of the house, adding diversity while still maintaining a cohesive, contemporary look.
