Completed in 2008, Shuswap Cabin is a modern interpretation of the traditional lakeside cabin. Nearly two decades later, its simple forms, open spaces, and palette of natural materials, including Douglas fir, Western red cedar, slate, and concrete, remain relevant today. Designed to connect indoor and outdoor living, the cabin invites relaxation and casual living.

The project received multiple design awards and has been featured in numerous publications, and remains an important contribution to our portfolio.

The street elevation is conceived as a quiet, monolithic form, punctuated by a deeply recessed threshold that marks the transition between the public realm and the interior, slowing the experience of arrival and heightening the sequence that follows.

Beyond, the house reveals itself in layers as courtyards, framed views, and natural light dissolve the boundary between building and landscape.

Behind a restrained exterior, the entry is defined by the gradual unfolding of space, where structure, light, and landscape intersect. An offset courtyard introduces light, sky, and a single tree, expanding the experience of the entry while layering views through the home to the garden beyond.

The lightly veiled courtyard offers a moment of pause - mediating the transition from the street to the front door.
