Cabin Design Wooden Home Decorating With Courtyard Walls

This wooden cabin designed by Balance Associates Architects, a wooden house design is located in Eastern Washington. With the courtyard walls to provide additional privacy from neighboring cabins and to help visually anchor the house to the site.

Description from Architects:

A cabin located in a lightly treed meadow, surrounded by foothills and mountains in Eastern Washington. The home is designed as two “L’s” forming a court yard to provide shelter from the winds and privacy from the neighboring houses. The plan takes advantage of sweeping 180 degrees views up and down valley.

The courtyard walls extend past the main form to provide additional privacy from neighboring cabins and to help visually anchor the house to the site. The building mass is kept low to the valley floor to remain unobtrusive while the roof line and extended walls abstract the layering of mountain profiles beyond.
