Form & Forest recently announced the completion of their beautiful, proof-of-concept, flat-pack cabin on the banks of the Blaeberry River in Golden, British Columbia. The Pioneer model prefab has 1,740 square feet, a mono pitch roof, 180 degrees of floor-to-ceiling glass, and a smart design with large overhangs and cross ventilation.
Pioneer was built on an insulated concrete form (ICF) foundation. Also, the slanted roof is optimized for a future solar array, and septic is processed through a peat moss system.
Form & Forest‘s cabins are delivered with prefabricated walls, roof, and floor systems along with siding, roofing, doors, and windows.
“The sum is a building kit of high quality prefab components born out of a design program that is thoroughly modern in nature and right at home in nature itself,” according to Ryan Jordan, co-founder of Form & Forest. Pioneer starts at $124,900 Canadian, excluding shipping and taxes.

would need strong glass for grizzly bear attacks?
Great article and a very creative cabin concept! For reference the wood stove featured in the pictures is the Danish Morso 6140 made in cast iron from 98% recycled material.
Thanks for catching that. It’s a beautiful product that we’ve mentioned previously:
