MW Works Architecture+Design has created this idyllic modern refuge perched on a forested hillside along the shore of Case Inlet in southern Puget Sound, Washington.

This compact retreat opens to a western view of the Olympic Mountains and Puget Sound. Anchored by a weathered cedar-clad bedroom wing, a bold concrete cantilever projects the living and dining into the forest and toward the view.

An ipe deck slips from inside the kitchen into a meadow to the south, separated only by large sliding glass doors extending the sense of interior directly to the outdoors.

With a balance of simple lines and rugged, low-maintenance materials, this modest retreat of 2,800-square-foot is a welcome sanctuary from the city for just two or the full family.

What We Love

We love how the materials bring the outside in. The expansive walls of glazing help to frame the captivating views of the water and nature, creating a feeling of tranquility for this home’s inhabitants.

Overall, we think this home would be an incredible respite to ‘get away from it all’ and unwind in peace… especially with that incredible indoor-outdoor shower in the main bathroom!
