This secluded cabin is part of a larger compound created for a family's private retreat in the San Juan's. This client wanted her own private space where she could spend rainy afternoons surrounded by nature to work on her writing.
From the architect: "This secluded cabin is part of a larger compound created for a family's private retreat in the San Juan's. This client wanted her own private space where she could spend rainy afternoons surrounded by nature to work on her writing."
The thick nettles the property owner had to clear away from the wooded portion of the property inspired the name Nettly Wood. "The project is on a remote island that required all materials to be brought in by barge. The project team and owners flew in by seaplane or came over by private boat," Hoedemaker says.
The writer's hut is also nestled among the trees. Its form is simpler than the main cabin — gable versus hip roof — but the vocabulary of materials is similar.

Make your home a retreat space on rainy days. Make sure that there is a space in your home that you can use to curl up, hang out and get back in touch with yourself on the rainy days when you don't want to go outside.
