ByMyProperty Life

It is that time of the year again when we starting thinking about much needed winter vacations and how we are going to enjoy the lovely snow-clad slopes in all their splendor. Even if you are not a skiing enthusiast, a getaway like the Alpine Cabin on the Vancouver Island is bound to steal your heart with its cozy design and a landscape all around that is just stunning. This awesome little cabin sits in the heart of ski country and the best powder snow in the region awaits your family here. Designed by Scott & Scott Architects, the cabin was designed as a relaxing modern outpost from which one can enjoy snowboarding without any unnecessary frills.

It is rough sawn fir lumber that shapes the interior of the cabin along with stoic douglas fir beams and columns that support the structure beautifully. Décor is kept down to a bare minimum inside the cabin and every room provides a window into the gorgeous scenery just outside. Despite the freezing temperatures outside, the cabin itself is lit and kept cozy using a wood stove. Water is collected from a nearby source and heated when required and the small cabin almost leaves no carbon footprint.

  • Music Box Residence

    The Music Box Residence was designed around the intimate and communal qualities of music and family. The steep lot, with views towards Mt. St. Helens and Mt. Rainier dictated a multi-level structure. On the lowest level, surrounded by concrete walls, resides the timpani rehearsal room. The husband, a member of the Oregon Symphony, required space and acoustic separation for practice. On the main level sits the piano studio where the wife’s students come to learn and play. Her studio opens onto the main living room and covered outdoor living area for recitals and parties. The upper level houses the couple’s children, parents, and guests. Continue up and an electronic roof hatch pivots open, revealing a rooftop deck, complete with commanding views of forest park, the city and mountains beyond. The “U” shaped plan has large volumes on both sides with a glassy two-story entry space in the middle. A long bridge, with a bamboo forest below, leads from the sidewalk to the main entry. The exterior, clad in black stained siding; reminiscent of “shosugi ban,” or charred wood, pays homage to their Japanese ancestry.
