Everybody wants their own private cabin in remote Alaska, I have actually reached the point in life where I can actually do this, and I want to do it right. I want to minimize potential design flaws and reduce maintenance needs. What design considerations should I think about including in my design in order to make it optimal? Ex. Sloped roof to shed snow in winters, type of foundation, basement?, insulation in the walls?, etc etc. I am looking for inspiration here, so feel free to post pictures of what you like or tell me what you would do and explain why.
It will not be so remote that it is inaccessible by my 4WD in winter, I have a snow plow to maintain my road already. I purchased the land specifically because it is secluded with no nearby neighbors, but close enough to a small town with a grocery store so I don’t need to go on a absolute road trip just to get food.
