"The staggered footprint does more than navigate the slope. As the volumes shift against each other, they carve out compact exterior courtyards between them, creating protected outdoor pockets that catch the sun and shelter from the wind."
"The exterior reads as restrained and deliberate. Rough-sawn western red cedar is clad in a deep dark stain, with boards running diagonally to emphasize the pitch of the roofs and reinforce the sense of directional movement down the hill."
"Over time, the finish will weather toward the tones of bark and shadow, letting the cabin settle further into the forest rather than announce itself against it."
"Inside, the 1,400-square-foot plan organizes sleeping quarters around a central living and dining space that opens to the outdoors on either side."
The Staggered Cabin by Mork-Ulnes Architects is designed to harmonize with its alpine environment, featuring four cedar-clad volumes that adapt to the slope. This design preserves existing granite boulders and Jeffrey Pines, creating outdoor courtyards that enhance daily life. The cabin's restrained exterior, with dark-stained cedar and metal roofs, emphasizes its connection to the forest. Inside, a 1,400-square-foot layout centers around a living space that opens to nature, utilizing Douglas fir plywood for a cohesive aesthetic.
