the retreat
Intent: Design an addition for an existing mountain home.
Started: October 2009
Completed: July 2010
Services: Programming, conceptual design, architectural services
Narrative: The existing cabin was a one room structure with a screened in porch.
The client increased the size of the cabin, almost doubling the existing area, to include a kitchen, bathroom, and three bedrooms.
The single room of the original cabin is now a great room with an open ceiling, hearth, and fireplace for family gatherings and relaxing.
By reusing as much of the existing siding, windows, and doors as possible the cabin maintains the original feel.
