Homeowners living in Houston, Texas, are very fond of these places, having spent several summers here
Rigid exteriors and cosy interiors. Wooden house surrounded by nature
The house, with a simple and compact shape, designed by the architectural studio mw works, stands on an existing foundation and is immersed in the forest, overlooking the Hood canal and the Dabob bay in the United States
Loving the wild nature of the southern canal, they had the desire to build a small refuge right here where they could spend their summer holidays
The idea was that of a very simple project, with a modern and compact structure, characterized by openings carved into the roof and walls and animated by the entrance of the light or by panoramic points
Visitors approach the building from the south, from where you can see a shed signalling the entrance
To the north and west the windows open onto the landscape in the distance while to the south and east they open onto the water
The south and east elevations remain mostly solid, to the benefit of privacy
Skylights on the roof provide natural light, as well as a view of the starry sky at night
Soft pine plywood provides warmth and makes the interior more welcoming
The patio located in the western corner of the house extends into the landscape, connecting the building to the larger site and located as a starting point at the beginning of the trails
