Dive into the unique allure of Bigfork, Montana, with our feature on the remarkable River’s End 2 project by renowned designer Cushing Terrell.
Born from the desire to reimagine the existing home on the scenic shores of Flathead Lake, this undertaking has now given life to two contemporary waterfront houses, each with its distinct charm. Nestled at the mouth of the Swan River, these river houses exude elegance, echoing the tranquil rhythm of the surrounding natural beauty.
Nestled in the lush forests of Seabeck, Washington, the Little House is a testament to the power of minimalist design and a deep connection with nature. This modern retreat, designed by Mwworks and Avery Cox Design, is perched on a north-facing bluff, offering breathtaking views of the Hood Canal and Dabob Bay. The 1,140 square foot (105.91 square meters) structure, built on an existing foundation, is a masterful blend of simplicity and elegance, with its stark exterior contrasting beautifully against a warm, bright interior.
The Little House is more than just a weekend house; it’s a sanctuary. Its design is intentionally restrained, with large carved openings in both the roof and walls that selectively embrace the views and natural light. The exterior is clad in taut oxidized black cedar and blackened cement infill panels, while the interior is warmed by lightly painted MDF panels and soft pine plywood. This retreat is a testament to the essence of the modern cabin—small in size but much larger than its boundaries.
The Wallis Lake House by Matthew Woodward Architecture is situated to command box-seat viewing over Wallis Lake on the Mid-North Coast of NSW, Australia.
