The cabin's
open layout reveals an open spaciousness that belies the cabin's 1,050
square foot plan. The architect avoided full walls opting instead
for one low wall that separates the sleeping area from the
living/dining room. An electrical skylight performs double duty
by increasing ambient light and venting hot air through the roof in the
summer. The cabin's dramatic roof structure is mimicked inside
with a ceiling clad in tongue-and-groove pine. The twin vertical
elements– the center post and exposed flue– refer to the many trees on
the site. Photo by Matthew Ackerman

The architect chose Western
red cedar for the cabin exterior because of its durability and stained
it to prevent it from greying under exposure to the elements. The
deck
is pine. Photo by Matthew Ackerman
