The Cascade House (shown above; named after the dramatic and serene landscape of Northern Washington), is designed to be compact and efficient while expansive and flexible. At just 1,660 sf, it includes three bedrooms and a generous common kitchen/ living/ dining space, as well as a small home office, mudroom, laundry room, and pantry. A screened-in porch off the dining room and generous covered patio expands the useable space significantly, helping integrate the simple footprint into the landscape and enabling a truly indoor-outdoor lifestyle. Small on cost and square footage, big on natural light, flexibility, efficiency, and connection to the land.
