a cabin

Diagonally symmetrical, this small cabin type is a riff on the minimal, mid-century cabin we spent a week in on the Oregon coast.  The plan is four-square, with the living room occupying one corner, fully glazed, with the hearth as a corner-focused object: this is a direct quote of our cabin, down to the thin-gauge blackened steel hearth.  The rest of the plan stems from this single move, with the circular stair opposite, a study and kitchen flanking.  The roof runs a single gable along the diagonal toward the living room, but tapers back into a typical hip for the two other facades.
