​

Sleeping Cabin is a 70 SF factory built cabin that is a commonly used solution currently. Cabins are 1 story, usually need to be separated from each other and don't use constrained sites efficiently. Bathrooms are remote, food prep is remote in separate structures. (we have not included tiny houses, but the ones without bathrooms are similar to sleeping cabins).
