The Mazama Cabin is located at the end of a beautiful meadow in the Methow Valley, on the east slope of the North Cascades Mountains in Washington state. The 1500 SF cabin is a superb place for a weekend get-a-way, with a garage below and compact living space above. The roof is “lifted” by a continuous band of clerestory windows, and the upstairs living space has a large glass wall facing a beautiful view of the mountain face known locally as Goat Wall. The project is characterized by sustainable cedar siding and recycled metal roofing; the walls and roof have 40% higher insulation values than typical construction.
The cabin will become a guest house when the main house is completed in late 2012.

Interior - What does the inside of this garage look like? I like the design of the outside. »
FINNE Architects Thanks so much for your question about our Mazama cabin. Unfortunately, we did not shoot interior photos. Sorry about that!

When you're considering adding clerestory windows for more natural daylight, also consider how much heat you want to add. Clerestory windows on the south-facing side of your house will generate more warmth from the sun in winter.The clerestory windows on this retreat by Finne Architects in the Cascade Mountains in eastern Washington not only add light and heat during the snowy season, but also visually lift the roof. This prevents the building from looking too top heavy, especially when it's piled with snow.
slim windows over the garage and angle of the roof.. could be used for 72 Pascal garages as a way to "anchor" the house? Also, use the floating windows as a theme across the house?
