Modern cabin

The guest wing includes a bunk room with eight beds located opposite the bunk bathroom.

Large operable walls of glass open the master bedroom up to an outdoor deck. The client's bed is equipped with casters to allow it to roll in and out onto the deck.

To hide visual clutter, storage is hidden behind wood paneling. Built-in areas, like the reading nook, also contain secret storage.

The hallway pendant was another custom design made by Decorative Metal Arts with vintage glass buoys sourced from Along Shores Décor. "The panels behind the banquette seating in the stair hall are magnetic, so people can leave notes about their plans for meeting up or for outdoor adventures, or just as a place to exchange pleasantries," adds DeForest.

The centrally located kitchen is the heart of the home and the prime gathering space. Glazed sliding doors open the space up to the BBQ patio and the beach-facing patio (not pictured here). Note the outdoor pizza oven that's enclosed in a salvaged and modified steel buoy—a nod to the multiple smokers and stoves made of steel buoys originally found on the property.

"The steel-and-wood beam details in the living room, dining room, and kitchen are a nod to the fact that the big open span facing the water is achieved with a large steel beam up in the ceiling from which all those large wood beams are suspended," notes the firm. The natural materials palette in the interior includes Pioneer Millworks 'Prairie' reclaimed wood siding for the walls, stained clear vertical grain cedar ceilings (main level), and solid end grain hemlock flooring by Oregon Lumber.

"As you enter, you turn and the beams direct your attention to the view through the dining room to the water," notes DeForest. "As the floor steps down, the living spaces open up to a generous scale that is fully open to the view and the outdoor terrace." The dining chairs are from Case Furniture sourced from Design Within Reach.

The Black Tusk Basalt flooring from the indoor living areas are continued in the outdoor patios to create a seamless flow between the indoors and outdoors.

A glass-walled bridge links the master bedroom with the office on the upper floor. The layout creates a double-height space for the living area and keeps the drama of the exposed concrete ceiling visible from the ground floor.

Silvano Zamò, third-generation winemaker at Le Vigne di Zamò winery, and his wife Brigitte tasked architecture firm GEZA with a holiday home on a hilltop location in the tiny northern Italian village of Camporosso, not far from the ski resort Monte Lussari.

Deep roof overhangs not only protect the interior from direct sunlight, but also provide privacy.

"What we want most was for people to feel the passion and love we put into the hotel," notes Claudia Muñoz, who helped build the intimate, family-run hotel.

Warm light emitted through the expansive windows lets the home glow warmly against the mountain and forested setting.

Prentiss + Balance + Wickline Architects' created both public and private outdoor spaces in Chechaquo Cabin. A second-floor rear deck is propped up on the graded slope to host a secluded spot for a hot tub.

Bright orange paint trims glass doors set in the corrugated metal siding, providing a cheerful contrast.

The staircase’s open treads and slim, cable railing avoid blocking sight lines outside. A modest material palette, including a concrete floor, wood cabinetry, and charcoal laminate counters, cedes to the views.

Two sets of double doors merge the interior with the covered exterior.

The steel-and-glulam support system forms the covered corridor of the loggia.

The design of Scrubby Bay was inspired by a piece of slowly aging driftwood.
