Very simple, but I trust there's plenty of insulation

  1. Summer shack, too many windows for cold weather.

  2. I've always like the shed design, though this would be difficult to keep warm with all the glass.

  3. A lot of glass I'm thinking even for modern e-glass

  4. That is a summer retreat. You would freeze to death in the winter. How are you going to heat that?

  6. Clean, simple, and well sited. Walls look fairly thick to offset the glass. Nicely done. The single chair tho...

    1. not a maintenance-free deck, but a minor work-around.

    2. Dug around for 893 Studio…Vietnam. The shed roof is a freestanding cover, canin almost looks like a Conex but it isn’t.

  7. walls appear to be extremely thick, glass/window units can be made nowadays to be fairly well insulated in their own right.don't overthink it.

  8. That roof doesn't even look sturdy enough for the likely snow load.
    One heavy fall, and that property will be up for sale.

  9. Not with all the windows... might as well take hundred dollar bills out of your wallet and burn them right there.

  10. It's small enough that the wood stove can keep it liveable...as long as the fire doesn't go out.

  11. This has gotta be an outbuilding on an estate. Head down for a little light reading and some nature, then back to the big house for dinner.

  12. To answer all the questions. Triple glazed glass. 6" of closed cell insulation in the walls, 12" in the roof. 12 foot roof span = 2"x12" SYP rafters at 16" O/C with 2"x12" bridging, and 1" Z boards will yield a dead load capacity of over 400lb per sq ft. That thing is so tight it produces it's own heat simply from the ambient light from the sun.

  13. we built an insulspan house in 1990. r-40 walls and r-60 ceiling. works well. newer technology even better i'm guessing.
