This extensive whole house remodel transformed a modest forest cabin into a stunning modern jewel box. The floor plan, roof, heating system, and siding of the existing home were redone and a new second story was added featuring an expansive master suite, roof deck, and sauna.

At the ground floor large view windows, exposed timber framing, and wide decks strengthen the home’s connection to the surrounding forest and bring light and spaciousness to the interior.

The building envelope was fully reworked with continuous exterior rigid insulation, air sealing, and a rain screen system to divert rainwater.
