This contemporary fishing cabin was designed by Carney Logan Burke Architects, located on a beautiful 10-acre site in Jackson, Wyoming. The property features plenty of privacy with spectacular views of the Teton Mountain Range, along with close proximity to a fishing creek and access to the wildlife habitat that the creek supports.
There was already an existing home on the site, which the homeowners had considered tearing down, however the structure resided within a stream setback. If they began a new project, this would have required the house to be drawn away from the water’s edge, which would have conflicted with the homeowner’s vision.
Encompassing 5,600 square feet of living space, the existing home was a “Western Cliché”, featuring shellacked logs, shiny river rock and a hodgepodge of various buildings placed without regard to the site. The architects began the design effort by reorganizing the forms to create a more unified composition of buildings. The separate cabins are connected by a long, low, Western-inspired porch.
Large window openings were cut into the buildings to connect interior spaces with the outdoors. While the homeowners still wished to preserve the log structures, they also requested that the new design of their home be a contemporary interpretation of a western cabin. To achieve this, a black palette was selected for the exterior facade: black stained logs, black steel details and black painted wood.
What We Love: This fabulous fishing cabin offers the perfect solitude for enjoying relaxing family vacations. The home’s picture perfect surroundings are captured through expansive windows throughout the home. Inside, bright and airy living spaces feature stylish furnishings, accessories and unique details throughout… Readers, what are your overall thoughts, would this be your ideal vacation retreat?
