This striking modern cabin in the mountains was crafted by Prentiss Balance Wickline Architects and is nestled at the base of Flagg Mountain in Mazama, Winthrop, Washington. This cozy dwelling maximizes views of the Methow Valley and beyond to the North Cascade Mountain range.
Encompassing 1,600 square feet (52’x16′) of living space, this shelter features kitchen, dining, and living spaces, along with two bedrooms and two-and-a-half bathrooms. An open-concept layout and harmonious flow facilitate a place of solitude to retreat for the weekend while also being idyllic for entertaining family and friends.
The living and dining spaces extend to roughly 900 square feet of covered outdoor patio space. These spaces offer outdoor living rooms and idyllic spots to lounge on sunny afternoons or gather around an outdoor fireplace on chilly nights. A deck off the upper-level main bedroom suite provides a private outdoor area and a hot tub.
The cabin’s main elevation faces almost due south, with expansive windows on both the lower and upper levels to draw in winter sun and views. Deep overhangs supported by exposed steel columns block the summer sun in the upper-level bedrooms.
