Decatur

A 1,200 square foot cabin built into a sloping hillside overlooking the San Juan Islands. The cabin was designed as two forms that connect to create a main living space that feels as through it is a covered porch. The solid two story rectangular section contains the bedrooms and service areas. The living space is a cantilevering glass room that opens to a large deck that wraps around three sides. This double height space is enclosed with a large shed roof that also extends over the bedrooms. To further reinforce the interiors connecting to the outside, the exterior wall finish of the bedroom area wraps through the living room wall.
