Hinkle Farm Shack

Jeffery Broadhurst of Broadhurst Architects designed this diminutive single-room home, a few hours from Washington D. C as a retreat for his family.It is built simply from off the shelf components which echoes the simplistic, near colonial, mode of living it represents.
Its simple planning consists of three rooms, a kitchen, closet and a larger living/bedroom which completely opens to the east onto a generously proportioned deck. The building is approximately 42m2, and is only accessible via 4wd over a long and winding track of stones and grass. It utilises this remoteness and the surrounding environment 'bringing the mountainside shack to new heights' - Christopher Kieran, Architectural Record.
Thanks to Loren for emailing this one to me.
