This beautiful lakeside cabin house was designed as a family retreat by architects Hoedemaker Pfeiffer, nestled on Lake Chelan in Washington. The project team was commissioned to create a 2,200 square foot home for a couple of siblings, to be shared between their two families. The property was originally purchased by their parents and has been a treasured destination for decades.
With a new house the owners saw the opportunity to engage the lake and mountains on one side and the hills and forest on the other. Working with vernacular forms on either side of the living room, the structure recalls the simple architectural character of the area while affording a living room that is little more than an extension of the gardens on either side.

At once comforting and enclosing, this lakeside cabin is also expansive and fresh.
What We Love: This wonderful lakeside cabin offers a shared living experience family to gather and spend quality time together. Surrounded by a tranquil environment, living spaces were designed to maximize the water and mountain views. We are especially loving the design of the living room with its walls of glass that disappear to blur the indoor-outdoor boundaries while extending entertaining options.
