This three-story, 1,000-square-foot cabin in Washington State draws inspiration from fire towers and tree houses. Tom Kundig’s Delta Shelter is a fire-resistant fortress with an armored steel exterior and shutters that can be manually closed using a pulley-and-gear system. The eco-friendly structure was premade off-site and then assembled on the property for minimal impact on its surrounding natural habitat.
