Located in Mazama, Washington, the site was enjoyed by the family for many years as a campground. The design minimizes impact to the environment by raising the residence off the ground with small concrete piers and placing the house between stands of trees, as one would a tent. Accessed by a slightly elevated walk, the entry opens up to a 1 1/2 story living space and kitchen which are anchored by a centrally located fireplace and the stair. Upstairs on the second floor are "tent like" bedrooms – lowwalls create a cozy atmosphere. Both ends of the residence have indoor/outdoor spaces, including a deck and elevated catwalk that runs between the trees and across a small valley – directly to a hill the clients consider their favorite spot on the site.
