This three storey log piece en piece cabin is only 625 sqft footprint, with a total living space of 1770 sqft including basement.

Its architecture style is inspired by Basque architecture from South west of France where I (Cyril) come from.  I will build this small home next year on a lake shore property in Nova Scotia.

The room layout is fairly specific to my needs as I do not require a dining room so I have an eating bar at the kitchen for example.  Also the sitting room is quite small as I do not really use it much at all.  However the guest bedroom could be used for a larger sitting room and a dining room table too.  Second floor has possible sleeping on both side.  The screened deck can be an overflow sleeping area or an artist studio at north side.  Walkout basement has a rental apartment facing the lake a few feet away.
