It鈥檚 ironic that dreams of escape are often fueled by four walls and a roof鈥攂ut understandable when that enclosure is the , an infinitely adaptable, modern yet 颅unpretentious prefab shelter from architect Jeffrey Broadhurst. 颅Conceived as a weekend retreat hidden away in the woods, the 250-square-foot weather-ready structure takes its inspiration from traditional American corn cribs, and it pops up鈥攚ith the help of a crane and work crew鈥攊n just a few days. Its inside and outside spaces blur together, thanks to translucent polycarbonate walls and a garage-like swing-up door that opens onto the deck. You can stash your gear under the house, sleep in the mini loft, and chill on the 颅veranda鈥攊t鈥檚 a little bit of Norman Rockwell, a smidge of Frank Lloyd Wright, and a whole lot of Robinson Crusoe.
