Project Description:

‍
Nestled amidst the towering ponderosa pine forest of Leavenworth, Washington, this timeless cabin style home hosts family vacations in all four season. Located in an outdoor-enthusiast's playground, our clients needed a getaway cabin that suited their lifestyle in both sun and snow. Inspired by a traditional log cabin with modern construction techniques, this design boasts an open floor plan but a coxy feel.

The cabin’s exterior showcases traditional craftsmanship, from the gabled rooflines to the combination of wood siding and stone accents. A spacious covered porch greets visitors, inviting them to relax and take in the serene forest views year-round. The metal roof, both practical and aesthetically pleasing, ensures resilience against the region's snowy winters while contributing to the cabin’s rustic charm.

Inside, the home features a cozy yet open layout, ideal for hosting family gatherings or finding quiet solace. Large windows allow for an abundance of natural light, creating a seamless connection between the indoors and the scenic outdoors. Key design elements, such as the use of locally sourced materials and traditional detailing, reflect the cabin’s commitment to sustainability and regional authenticity.

A standout feature of this design is the second-level balcony, which provides a private retreat to enjoy the crisp mountain air. The attached garage and mudroom area cater to the practical needs of year-round living, offering ample storage and functionality without compromising on aesthetics.

This cabin harmonizes with its natural setting, making it an ideal retreat for those who seek tranquility and connection with the environment. Whether it’s a snowy winter evening by the fire or a summer morning on the porch, this home provides the perfect setting for all seasons.

Our team worked closely with the homeowners to ensure every detail of the design met their vision while respecting the land’s unique character. This project exemplifies our commitment to creating spaces that honor both the needs of our clients and the landscapes they inhabit.
