This project was designed for my mother and aunt who wanted to build a shared cabin on a beautiful hilltop lot on Pender Island B.C. The rocky site meant that we had to anchor the foundation directly into the bedrock just in front of the cliff. The whole cabin is a modest 600 sqft. To make best use of the small space, the bedrooms, bathroom, and kitchen were placed in the back half of the building. This allowed for a generous living space along the entire front half of the house. This room has a 12 foot tall south facing wall that is covered in windows that descend right to the floor. A large sliding glass door opens out onto the deck and views of the Olympic mountains beyond. The soffit detail was custom designed for this project and angles up from the outside wall towards the thin edge of the roof. The underside was finished in clear stained cedar boards. The desired effect was that the main facade would be like an open and gleaming face. The outside of the cabin is finished in dark stained cedar siding.
