I’ve actually been inside this small house, their is a life size replica in Louisiana, Denmark right now.
And I do agree with your ideas, it was quite dark inside,
and their is underbed storage, pull out like. You just can’t see it in the pictures.

Seems like very little natural light. It may be easier to look out a window when it is placed “over” a table.

To save space, store towels and cosmetic baskets on open shelving over the back of a toilet. Try a small, 12”-depth, corner sink in the bathroom.

Closets may not be needed with underbed storage. Try pull-out baskets under a daybed, sofa bed or chair.

Baskets are easy to transport – such as to the laundry mat, to pick up toys, to the top of a bed when dressing, to a kitchen counter when cooking, etc.

I don’t know much more about it but there was a full scale replica built, so they must have some good docs on it too. http://www.architecture.com/WhatsOn/Exhibitions/At66PortlandPlace/2009/Spring/CorbCabanon.aspx

Hello,
I am very interested in building a replica of this cabanon. Is there any plan available? Any detailed documentation?
Thx,

I’m surprised that they didn’t teach this in Architecture school where I attended. Le Corbusier was quite the hero there. Everything about the moderns was aimed at one thing; to reduce life to it’s most elemental form.

Thanks for pointing this out; truly inspirational.
