Text description provided by architect.
Located in Mazama, Washington, the site was enjoyed for many years as a campground by the family.
The design minimizes impact to the environment by raising parts of the residence off the ground with small concrete piers.
The entry to the house is a slightly elevated walk that leads to the entry and stair.
This entry opens up to a 1 1/2 story living space and kitchen which are anchored by a centrally located fireplace and the stair.
This stair leads to the “tent like” bedrooms with low walls on the second floor.
Both ends of the residence have indoor/outdoor spaces.
There is also a deck and elevated catwalk that runs between the trees, across a small valley, and empties onto a grassy clearing in the woods where the family used to camp.
