Built from the ground up on a sloped, heavily wooded lot, the RLW Cabin is both a viewing platform and a protective shelter. The environmentally sensitive construction incorporates a number of innovative materials and building methods, earning the home a LEED Silver designation by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) for achievement in green homebuilding. Shadow Architects also handled all interiors and built many of the furnishings including the dining table and primary bedroom bed.
“As an object, the house is meant to complement, rather than to blend into its surroundings.”
