Caring for the Planet: Tranquil Cabin Retreat in Washington
Finding space on a lush green lot in Puget Sound, Washington that is filled with mature Douglas fir and cedar trees, the Sneeoosh cabin is truly special both in terms of its design and eco-friendly intent. The cabin was crafted by zeroplus to ensure that its structure is as non-invasive as possible and even the existing root system under the house is left undisturbed after construction. ?Lightness? was the keyword during both the planning and execution phase as prefab Structurally Insulated Panels (SIPs) and metallic frame that relied on tension for stability helped pull off a sustainable and mesmerizing retreat.Sneeoosh Cabin set in a lush green landscape surrounded by fir and cedar treesThe natural green landscape around the house becomes an integral part of the open living area with large glass windows completely opening up the interior visually.

The synergy between nature and man-made structure here is truly captivating as the cabin seems like an extension of the landscape. A small pathway connects the cabin with the parking lot at a distance that sits on an already disturbed site, to minimize environmental further.Glass, metal frame and prefab SIPs create a eco-conscious cabin in WashingtonPlatform structure supports the cozy cabin while causing minimal eco-impactGlass walls, steel structure and wooden walls create a open and cozy retreatPromoting a sustainable way of life,...
