Multi-Purpose Outdoor Homes

Broadhurst Architects Inc.'s 'The Crib' is Versatile

— June 13, 2012 — Eco
Broadhurst Architect Inc.'s 'The Crib' brandishes a multi-functional take on housing. In addition to being eco-friendly, the company also boasts the framework's ability to be used as a cabin, office space, studio or guest house, dependent upon how one interprets the structure.

This outdoor home comes to buyers pre-made and is put together in its entirety once on site. Those interested in The Crib may also choose from three different sizes with a 315 square foot model, a 640 square foot model and an extravagant model with a 140 square foot deck, a garage door and a loft space. And while these additions are considerable, The Crib still maintains its minimalist take on construction with its relatively small size and diminutive ecological footprint.
