This two bedroom scandinavian style home was designed on a sloping lot set in a small clearing amongst a pine forest. The home has a compact footprint allowing it to be nestled within the trees yet feels spacious as the open plan in combination with the open second story loft provides a continuous flow of space on multiple levels. Inspired by tree houses, the main living room and loft are set higher above the ground and perch out to integrate with the tree canopies where the views of the mountains and valley below can be appreciated. Wood is the prominent material used both on the interior and exterior to blend in with the surroundings and maintain the feeling of a cozy cabin.
