Inspired by the classic good looks of traditional summer cabins and camps throughout eastern North America, the RavenHouse NorthEast features soaring cathedral ceilings, fantastic acoustics, and ample natural daylighting.

With over 760 square feet of main floor space and 120 square feet of combined loft space, it is just the right size for hosting short-term rental guests, or for your own weekend getaway.

In a blend of old and new, the form is classic but the functionality and comfort are fully up to date; the large, modern, expanses of insulated glass maximize interior light - and provide amazing views of the surrounding scenery. The full— sized kitchen and bathroom make daily living easy and comfortable, even if you build deep in the wilderness  

Extra-thick walls ensure comfort and sustainability throughout the year, and the steeply sloped roof is at an ideal angle for solar panels. The undivided double height space allows the interior areas to connect and borrow space from one another. For example, the bed loft would feel cramped if it were fully enclosed; the open volume also makes the living area below feel much larger.

Whether cooking for two or an extra four overnight guests, the kitchen is both generous and efficient, with room for full-sized appliances.

The large 3-piece bathroom, with laundry, is bright and warm, its lower ceiling adding to its cosiness.

The bedroom’s upper-level loft space is bathed in sunshine and cool summer breezes through the big, operable skylight, perfect as a reading nook or office, yoga space or overflow sleeping.

22 page drawing set includes elevation views, section views, plan views, framing details, window and door schedules, interior and exterior full colour renders, woodstove detail, interior and exterior wall details, and more.

The following is for informational purposes only.

In the US or Canada, per square foot costs for materials range between US$75 and $250, with labour another US$75 to $250 per square foot. 

To get up-to-date, locally relevant pricing for the materials that will be required to build your cabin, take your set of plans, no matter where you purchased them, to a building materials supplier to receive a ‘materials takeoff’ and price for everything that they are able to supply. If you are building your cabin yourself, *this* amount,  plus another 15% for contingency, is your ballpark cost to build, plus your time.

Complete and even more accurate building budget calculations can be made by a local, experienced builder who has considered all your unique requirements and the building site’s unique characteristics. It can be worth paying a small consultation fee to gain their real-life insights into building costs in your particular area.

Cost varies by region and finishings. All of our designs offer flexibility during planning and during construction to use windows, doors, and interior & exterior finishes that suit your budget and preferences.
