Prefab ‘Surf Shack’

Fell in love with this gorgeous New Zealand backcountry hut-inspired home and want your own? You’re in luck. Backcountry Hut Company, a Canadian maker of prefab eco-shelters, has a new design out that offers many of the same features, including the simple shed roof and fabulous indoor-outdoor living courtesy of a glass wall and wooden deck.

Just like the company’s existing lineup, the new “Surf Shack” arrives flatpack, designed to be installed anywhere accessible by a truck or helicopter, with minimal disturbance to the site.
