I've been making some exciting changes to the design of La Cabanita Chiquita lately. I've been walking around my house with a tape measure like a crazy, taking measurements of windows, stools, tables, counter tops, doors; and my bodily dimensions while sitting, standing, taking an imaginary shower, etc. I also had a very helpful session last evening with my roommate Amelia who gave me some valuable design insight. I've decided to go with a symmetrical gable roof (who knew?!). I've re-arranged my windows. I've even made some changes to the floor plan.
Friends: I'm taking feedback before I start cutting boards. Bring it! Ask me questions if something looks bizarre.
Green transparent parts are the loft (7'3" long x 4'6" wide) and a ceiling above the shower. Sleeping happens perpendicular to the length of the trailer. There is a shorter 6'2" tall ceiling below the loft. Notice the overhanging counter and space between the couch and kitchen cabinets; I'm borrowing a favorite feature from my friends' airstream and placing a mini bar with a bar stool in that space. Thanks to Jacob for taking a short, urgent call and providing the dimensions for the mini-bar (I was experiencing a moment of divine design inspiration and couldn't wait a moment longer).
The skylight sits above the loft.
Small window on right is bath, to the left is kitchen window and left of that (long skinny window) is positioned for someone sitting at the mini-bar to enjoy the natural light and view to the outside.
What say you?
