Recycled Cardboard "Log" Cabin
My friend Stephan von Muehlen built this rad little log cabin out of recyclable materials from Build It Green NYC -- a nice and cosy bedroom, no?
He was inspired by a 2005 show at the Museum of Modern Art in Manhattan featuring refugee housing...
Sarah Cox from Dwell Magazine blogged about it here :
"He constructed the cabin in five days by building a deck with storage underneath and attaching vertical plywood fasteners to hold the tubes at each corner. The cabin features a corrugated plastic ceiling and, like any good winter enclosure, the walls are insulated–in this case with a layer of felt window gasketing between each tube."

green sure... but it doesn't look too ventilated...

...and I'll huff and puff and blow your house down..?
It's creative and a great idea for seperating a bedroom in a studio... however I can't help but wonder who could have used those Build it Green materials more productively.
That being said, I think your friend has the option of a lovely career in urban planning! How great would log cabins look lined up on Haveymeyer?
oh my god, you're on apartment therapy. that pretty officially makes you my hero.
