Reiulf Ramstad Arkitekter has designed [miniature cabins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cabanon) that combine three separate rooms in a single structure. The 'Micro Cluster Cabins' are intended for families that want an outdoor cabin, but need to have the same degree of privacy as a single-family home. The solution was to create a series of [separate structures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/1807-holiday-home) that are organized around the outdoor area, yet contained as one single unit.

The Micro Cluster Cabins are made up of three separate buildings that are joined together by a central entrance area. The main building features luxurious [floor-to-celing windows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beaufort-bushland-retreat), which offer spectacular views of the surrounding wilderness. This main building also functions as the central living area with a fully-functional kitchen and a small seating area. The other two structures in the Micro Cluster Cabins contain the bedrooms and bathrooms.
