Located on the valley floor in ranch country near Winthrop, Washington
A small budget, the wide-open site, and the
simple desires of the client dictated simplicity in the design of this 1,100 SF
vacation cabin. The tall gable roof over the elongated plan gives the
building a presence within the natural landscape. Building orientation
takes advantage of the prevailing breezes and mountain views up valley.
The building sits lightly on the land with its stick-built encircling porch,
which buffers the often-harsh climate. The roof configuration prevents
snow buildup and damage. The site is left untouched except for a circle
around the building that has been cleared to minimize the risk from wild fires.
The general contractor
was Bjornsen Construction. |
