Modern Kenjo Cabin is a solar-powered floating room for a family in Sweden

The <a href="http://www.kanal5play.se/#!/play/program/230057/video/11290004|/program/230057/video/11290004" target="_blank">Sandell brothers</a> enjoy spending time at their lake house near Muskö, Sweden, but it was starting to get crowded. They decided they needed some extra space, which they got with the help of Swedish prefab cabin builder <a href="http://www.kenjo.se/startsida/" target="_blank">Kenjo</a>, who designed and built a small floating room out on the lake. The modern cabin is a simple design and is built from locally-sourced spruce and provides the perfect spot for lounging, playing on the lake and even an extra guest room. Solar panels on the roof provide all the electricity they need, and the floating platform lets the family move it if necessary.

Limmared, Sweden-based prefab builder, <a href="http://www.kenjo.se/" target="_blank">Kenjo</a> offers up small prefab cabins designed for those needing more space that can be used as a guest-house, relaxation space, office, studio or even a floating house.

One of their more recent projects was a floating cabin for the Sandell family in Muskö. The project consists of a modern, one-room cabin with a simple interior and flexible furnishings.

Located on a floating platform with access to the water, the cabin serves as extra living space right on the water.

The roof features a solar photovoltaic system to provide energy for the cabin and make it off-grid for the LED lighting and the stereo system.

Kenjo has a unique modular system with several different sizes that can be installed on a variety of foundation types. The company also offers customized solutions based on their customers' wishes.

Manufactured in Sweden, the cabins are built entirely from Swedish Spruce, a local and renewable resource.

The walls are delivered pre-nailed and the rest of the timber is pre-cut and then assembled once on-site.

The energy efficient windows help minimize heat loss and provide lots of natural daylight and can fold up accordion style to open the cabin to the environment.
