Our client wanted to save the existing cabin, so we created a central Living/ Kitchen/ Dining space utilizing the existing post & beam structure and adding to it. This developed a central spine, with beautiful mountain views to the east and west, that captured abundant natural light while extending beyond the house to create shade and a pleasant porch area. The existing wings were easy extended for the bedroom suites and a sod roof was utilized to create an entry that links the new Studio/ Garage wing to the existing cabin. The neighboring house for her sister was integrally landscaped.
Ward + Blake Architects is a boutique architectural firm specializing in high end custom residential projects, multi-family residential, hospitality, resort, small commercial and educational facilities. Our process embraces the broader spectrum – we look beyond the immediate programmatic goals and site constraints toward greater overall goals and long-term solutions. Through strategies that respect both the built and bio-climatic environments, we connect people to a cohesive building project that enriches the existing conditions of the site and connects respectfully to nature.
