The home is composed of two simple volumes joined at the center, creating a clear yet private layout. Large vertical windows frame the surrounding trees, while a partially covered deck extends living space into the woodland. Natural materials and a restrained palette continue the dialogue with nature, making the cabin feel both contemporary and rooted in place.
