Skáli  þinn (pronounced SKOW-lee thin) is an Old Norse translation of "your cabin."

The skáli  þinn series is a collection of modern cabins designed specifically for off-grid, remote locations where traditional construction fails and energy is a precious commodity.

Most cabin plans are designed for typical properties and then "adapted" for remote locations. We took the opposite approach. We started with some of the harshest conditions in mind and designed our way back to luxury.

The SIPs Envelope: Every design in this series utilizes structural insulated panels (SIPs)for foundation, exterior walls, roof and even floors. This isn't just about speed; it's about creating a continuous, high-performance thermal blanket that keeps you warm in a blizzard and cool in the peak of summer with minimal energy input.

Building Science at the Core: These plans incorporate advanced building science to manage moisture, ensure superior air quality, provide durability and resilience.

Remote-Ready Logistics: Building miles from the nearest hardware store is a challenge. Our designs prioritize materials and methods—like SIPs—that reduce waste, shorten on-site labor time, and simplify the supply chain.

A Legacy of Durability: Using "best practice" construction details, these cabins are designed to be multi-generational. We’re building for the next hundred years, not the next ten.

Whether you are looking for a compact retreat or a family basecamp, the skáli  þinn series provides the framework you need to build with confidence.
