We all have a vision for what our dream house would look like. While many envision themselves in lavish mansions, some want houses on the beach while others dream of cabins in the woods. But, if modern sleek design, energy efficient, cozy, personable, and nature friendly are the aspects you can be content with, then perhaps we can direct you towards some fantastic ideas.
Arched Cabins
Appearing to be quite similar to what a Quonset hut would look like, Arched Cabins can set you up with a comfortable living arrangement costing anywhere between $7,500 to $14,000 – depending on your needs; click here to check their table of prices. The cabins come in sizes ranging from 12–19 feet tall and 14–24-foot wide and comes with options of 20 colors. The cabins with big sizes can easily allow a couple to live comfortably and a smaller one can serve very well as a man-cave (or something alike).
The idea behind Arched Cabins is that it is a DIY project; the kit comes with floor plates, ribs, ridge beam, standard insulation R13, Super Span Roof Paneling, trim and fasteners – foundation, installation, interior, end caps, shipping must be purchased with extra cost. However, your cabin can be assembled by a professional for $800.00 per day in zip code 77429 and $1000.00 per day plus travel fees and delivery charges for all locations out of town.
The houses are quite durable and can withstand most intense of storms; additionally, a 40 year warranty is included.
