1. Island Cabins

To allow the two Island Cabins to blend seamlessly into their surroundings, goCstudio chose to have fir trees from the island milled and then used to clad both structures.

From the architect: “Located in the Pacific Northwest, these two island cabins nestle into the natural landscape of this beautiful site. The project is comprised of the new construction of a small sleeping cabin and a complete remodel of an existing cabin. It was very important that these cabins be mindful of their environmental impact on the site and be as energy efficient as possible, with a goal of net zero energy. This way of thinking also influenced the choice of materials for the cabins. The exterior siding is a reverse board and batten system with varied vertical board widths; a nod to traditional siding methods while giving the cabins a clean modern look.”

From the interior designer: “We had no previous building experience and just approached it slowly and with a lot of optimism. We built with lots of local and salvaged materials (including 1,800 square feet of salvaged 100- year-old Douglas fir from a local university). We went through a lot of sacrifices to build it: financial, time, friendships, and personal, but we came out the other end understanding how to trust each other.”

3. Off Grid Cabin in the Texas Hill Country

Our cabin is nestled in the middle of the woods, with our own cabin just a stone's throw away.

“This cabin is nestled in the middle of the woods, with our own cabin just a stone’s throw away,” says Marlena Jarjoura.

  • Burnt Cedar

    This is a full-time beach house for a car passionate family of four situated across from Burnt Cedar Beach in Incline Village, Nevada on the north shore of Lake Tahoe. Prior to being pulled up the hill to flumes and rails destined for Virginia City, logs were staged here as the mountains around the lake shore were logged during the silver mining years of the 1860s. Set into a neighborhood originally built in the 1950s and bordered by houses to the sides and rear, the house takes a simple box form, half buried into the slope. It faces the lake with full height glazing that encloses a loft-like plan with double height living spaces. The clients requested a space that felt like the landscape and maintained a feeling inside of being outside in the light and shadow play of the sixty to ninety-foot Jeffrey and Ponderosa pines that populate the lake shore.  Perforated wood ceilings and acoustical plaster walls soften the sounds of the concrete and glass pavilion-like house. An underground garage is excavated under the house with level access to the street, a must in this snowy climate for a family with an eclectic car collection.
