place: Mazama, WA
program: new construction cabin for an active, young family in the Methow Valley.

Perched amidst the serene beauty of the Methow Valley, the Cassal Cabin is rooted in simplicity and an atmosphere inspired by surrounding nature. the initial concept of the cabin is rooted in embodying the qualities of a nurse log, offering shelter, sustainability, and a nurturing environment for future generations of inhabitants to live and grow within. the efficient structure is designed to be light on the land and to symbiotically work with its surroundings - visually and ecologically. the cabin places an emphasis on central gathering spaces for the young family to enjoy year-round long weekends and family getaways where there’s always a place to build a fort or enjoy a big bowl of mac and cheese.
