An exercise in schematic design and detailing of a 500 sf rental cabin on a northwest facing beach in the San Juan Islands. Conceptually, it became important to consolidate service spaces into a thickness, or functional poche, in order to maximize the living space by thinking of it as an indoor-outdoor room. The cabin wanted to be a lighter wood frame set in a heavy stone base, which offered a variety of detailing opportunities and challenges.
