Modern Lake Cabin with Flagstone Patio Overlooking Cle Elum
Lake Cle Elum from sticklab, on the west side of the Cascades, sets the backdrop for this modern cabin in Roslyn, Washington. The 2,800-square-foot home and 800-square-foot garage occupy a slim terrace above the water, where steep slopes define the site.
The roof is engineered for deep winter snow loads and doubles as a housing for recessed summer shades, ensuring the home performs year-round. Materials are rugged and fire-resistant, concrete, dark metal, and wood, chosen to withstand the region’s climate while keeping maintenance low.
The open plan is organized around a concrete chimney with a fireplace and wood storage, paired with leather seating and a walnut dining table. Bedrooms remain minimal, built-in timber casework providing storage while keeping focus on the views. Outdoor spaces extend the interior, with a flagstone patio, simple fire pit, and deck along the glass façade offering sheltered gathering zones in all seasons.
