Multipurposes of Monolithic Cabins
An easily constructed, transportable Monolithic Cabin can be designed and used for many purposes.
- Worker Housing
- In literally thousands of locations housing is needed for workers
building everything from plants to pipelines, at sites that are far
from any accommodations. Monolithic Cabins can provide the housing, and
if it's only needed for a few years the cabins can be moved. Onsite
construction of worker housing is expensive. In many cases, it's more
economical to order completed Monolithic Cabins that can be transported
and put to use in a very short time. Their rugged construction is also
ideal. Depending on fit-out, the cabins can be used as bunk houses,
offices, cook shacks, independent living, etc. The Monolithic Cabins'
relatively small need for energy is another plus in remote areas where
electricity is furnished by generators.
- Rental Unit
- The inside of a Monolithic Cabin is about the size of a large motel
room and can include a bathroom with toilet, shower and pocket door; a
kitchen with sink, cabinet, hot plate, microwave, refrigerator/freezer;
one or two single beds or a fold-out couch and a closet. It's designed
primarily for one person, but can accommodate two. That makes it an
ideal rental unit.
- Homeless Housing
- Monolithic Cabins can be placed on high-dollar land in cities and
moved when appropriate alternatives are met. A design variation that is
smaller and suitable for a single homeless individual is available.
Again, the cabins rugged construction makes them ideal for tough
conditions.
- Vacation Dome, Hunting or Fishing Lodge
- A Monolithic Cabin can be transported to virtually any location or
built in any terrain. "You can easily turn it into your personal,
permanent mini-castle that has all the benefits and advantages of a
Monolithic Dome," David says. "Once it's completed and on-site, you can
attach awnings and create a shaded, outdoor, eating, relaxing area."
- Echo Housing or Granny Flats
- The Web defines these as "small, free-standing, removable housing
modules placed on the same lot as a single-family dwelling." A
Monolithic Cabin certainly fits that category. It can provide cozy,
comfortable living quarters that cannot be easily broken into. They're
just the place to make granny or grandpa feel welcome, wanted but
independent and secure.
- Disaster Shelter
- Like a Monolithic Dome, the Monolithic Cabin can provide protection
from natural disasters, such as earthquakes, hurricanes, heavy storms
and tornadoes.
- Guest House
- Ben Franklin once quipped that guests are like fish; they begin to
smell after three days. No such problem with a Monolithic Cabin!
Welcome your visitors to their own, private, pleasingly cooled or
heated space in a cabin that can include comfortable sleeping and bath
accommodations with or without a kitchen.
