A compact retreat where timber, stone, and filtered daylight create a sense of grounded calm. Oak framing and a poured concrete base ground the structure, while a stone hearth anchors the main living space through the colder months. Linen curtains filter the forest light rather than blocking it, keeping the interior connected to the trees outside. Every material was left to age naturally, so the pavilion settles further into its setting each year.
Interior spacesin natural balance
Warm textures, natural light and open spaces create a quiet and intentional way of living.

The space
Floor Plan Sections
A room of woven tatami and paper light, used for tea, rest and reading. It changes with the seasons outside.
A low bedroom wrapped in Douglas fir, with a window placed for the canopy. You wake to moving shadows of leaves.
A bath of dark basalt that looks out into the ferns. Steam and forest air meet at the open screen.
A covered wooden veranda that links every room to the forest. Somewhere to sit between inside and out.
