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.

Modern ski chalet with walls of windows to enjoy the mountainous view provided of this ski-in ski-out property. Formal and casual living room areas allow for flexible entertaining. Construction - Bear Mountain Builders Interiors - Hunter & Company Photos - Gibeon Photography

Emergence During the epoch, essential foundations were put in place to provide the generators of our landscapes, their inhabitants and the interrelationships between them. Emergence is an expression of this creative time; symbolised through the emerging granite Stone as the genesis and ‘spirit’ of the design. Stone is the centre; the datum; the beginnings of this interconnected landscape, and the convergence of relationships between its materials, distinct planting, water, artwork, and mood lighting and misting. Valuable and profound Indigenous understandings about landscapes and their sustaining and seasonal relationships are acknowledged through Fish (Lin Onus, 1991-represented in glass). Escarpment (represented in glass) not only tributes the extent of this knowledge through subtle but present fish fossils, but also completes this garden as an integrated system through the continuity of granite, and presents the notion of secluded waterholes nourishing life.
