italian architecture firm, lab zero have designed 'yeta log cabin', a small multi-purpose hut, 
that can be placed in a multitude of locations to provide shelter. 

the dwelling measures approximately 12.5' wide x 14.5' long x 10.75' tall, and is equipped 
with a small kitchen and bathroom, complete with a shower. the undefined interior space means 
that the cabin can be used according to specific needs. when not in use, the deck folds up, 
thus creating a structure that appears to be a large stack of cut wood. 

sustainably built with untreated wood, LED lighting and photovoltaic modules on the 
cantilevered awning, the cabin can operate either on or off the grid. carbon-based filters collect 
and filter rainwater, while black water is stored in a separate tank. the exterior shell is insulated 
and the glass panel is double pane, making it possible to comfortably inhabit the hut in any environment.
