The Kama Cabin

A romantic tiny-home, nestled in a hidden forest.
The Kama Cabin is a double-story tiny-home, specially designed for a beautiful spot at the heart of the Sima Kade valley - a hidden ridge that offers incredible views of our cliffs and the Magalies mountain. The ridge is capped by a red-ivory tree and looks over a small riverside forest. The cabin features a window-wall that slides out of sight, opening the house up to the bush-forest. The living room flows out to the fire-boma and the daybed, with an outside bath positioned on the edge looking onto the cliffs.
Built during the first lock-down, the Kama Cabin was the first cabin addition to Sima Kade. An experiment in prefabricated building, we constructed the majority of the structure off-site and towed it into place, taking about 2 months to complete. The cabin has the feel of a sailboat, with everything between the bedroom, kitchen and living area perfectly proportioned to save space. The Kama Cabin is designed for couples, but also has a couch/bed in the downstairs living/kitchen room. We always wanted to build on this site, but are glad to have taken our time to understand how the location changes through the different seasons.

"The wood burning fireplace, and warm wooden interior, makes for cosy winters."
