After renting in San Francisco for a decade, DIY couple Molly Fiffer and Jeff Waldman bought 10 acres in the Santa Cruz Mountains, where the pair and their friends built a cabin compound complete with sheds, tree decks, a pavilion, a wood-fired hot tub, an outhouse, and an outdoor shower.

The upper facade features simple flush, glossy metal panels that reflect light and the landscape. This refined material contrasts with the raw-formed concrete podium that houses the lower level.
