This Tye river cabin small and natural house design is nested into a nine-acre site on a river. Protecting a fragile river ecosystem was the challenge here. The owner wanted a home that was in harmony with natural sorroundings by minimizing the impact to the environment to the greatest extent possible. at the same time the client wanted a home that was comfortable, functional and aesthetically pleasing.
The 600 square foot living space consists of two bedrooms, one bathroom, a livng room and kitchen. Features and finishes, such as reclaimed old growth douglas fir and a poured-in-place concrete fireplace, evoke the surrounding environtment, and the many large combination window/doors that open the interiors to the outside serce to further enhance the connection to nature. This retreat is essentially a wooden tent on a platform that opens to the forest and river. Materials are allowed to weather to merge with the site.
