Cabin North Carolina

The style of architecture was based on a timeless, modern cabin. A simplistic form with quality materials were chosen to create a minimal yet warm and slightly rustic appearance. The exterior materials were based on a contemporary interpretation of the materials in the surrounding vicinity/community. The interior finishes will be a combination of cedar ceilings, walnut cabinets & flooring, locally sourced stone tops, locally sourced dry-stacked stone veneer, dark warm grey walls & Douglas Fir trim, doors & windows. All woods will be clear coated & not tinted to avoid trends through the generations. The overall form is abstractly based on a structure that grows from the adjacent mountain extends up/out and folds back down into the ground by the use of angled columns supporting the exterior deck. The spaces were designed to afford a family of five to comfortably live seasonally. A loft over the garage provides space for guests and an office. This particular site was chosen by the client for its accessibility & creek view/sounds. The design concept was driven by the desire to maximize creek exposure as well as enjoying the cabin from the inside out. Lift and Slide doors from the great room on two walls open onto a large deck (partially covered and partially open) provides ample outdoor space to enjoy nature. The cabin will be enjoyed by several generations ages 2-65+ & will not have steps to make the more seasoned generation able to visit & enjoy the cabin for years to come.
