The Case Inlet Retreat is the utmost in simplicity and tranquility for a couple with a young child.
The contemporary vacation home is located along the eastern edge of the Case Inlet, in southern Puget Sound in Washington state.
Architects Seattle-based studio MW Works Architecture+Design have created a simple vacation home that perfectly sits in the introspective scenery.
This is a small house that packs a punch.
What appears to be an outdoor shower clad in untreated wood is just outside the bedroom.
In fact a sliding door can seal the “outdoor shower” closed – or open to bring in fresh air as desired.
Cedar boards keep the floor dry for a sauna feeling.
Simple unpretentious faucets are used in both the shower and the the bath.
The same wood is used outside, paired with rusting Corten steel panels.
The house is nestled within a forest glade.
Its quiet views are echoed in the restrained material palette.
A wood burning stove keeps the small family retreat toasty on cold winter nights.
Polished concrete floors throughout are paired with the floor to ceiling glazing that connects to nature.
Outdoor stairs cut through the Corten steel for a direct route to the rooftop deck.
An early lesson in good design.
