"Cabin" in the Woods Sans "moose-bear-fish" Motif

Well, not sure if I can actually refer to this one as a "cabin", but in light of the "Tahoe Cabin" loose category, and lack of better term for the moment, I give myself the poetic licence to go ahead.

Introducing the 2,500 sf "Steel Treehouse" in Tahoe area by jls design





I especially love this steel stair well detail, it show case the indoor/outdoor living style.

p.s. I superman-ed off my bike yesterday. (This was suppose to be a pleasant and easy ride to the beach!!) I scraped my left palm and sprained my right thumb; came back home with big a bruise on my left knee and right thigh. I can't even remember the last time I was hurt so badly...

Also, I never realized how important my thumb is to some important bodily functions! i.e. buttoning my jeans and hooking up my bra!! just a few examples...

I am just glad I can still type with minimum difficulties.

This one is for you, K

"designed by olson sundberg kundig allen architects , delta shelter is located in mazama, washington ~ a tiny commuity in the eastern cascade mountain range 28 miles from the canadian border. this 1,000-square-foot weekend cabin is essentially a steel-clad box on stilts that can be completely shuttered when the owner is away. raised above the ground to minimize potential flood damage {as it's located in a floodplain} and take in 360-degree views of the surrounding forest and mountains, the cabin was conceived as a low-tech, virtually indestructible weekend house. the 20’ x 20’ square footprint rises three stories and is topped by the living room/kitchen with large, 10’ x 18’ steel shutters that can be closed simultaneously using a hand crank. it just won the 2007 american architects award, among many others" - taken from studio wellspring
