To avoid excavating the land, Pang and Boyle designed a structural platform to keep the cabin level.
They may have built this family cabin economically, but view of the ocean is priceless.
One big budget-saver was eliminating the drywall and embracing the raw plywood finish (plus a light stain).
Wire mesh was sandwich-framed between wood planks to create a modern-looking railing from simple materials—the result of a collaborative brainstorm with the local carpenter.
The cedar exterior of the building was pre-stained by a local supplier. The charcoal hue helps it disappear visually into the forest, and contrasts with the light and warm interior.
