Small Wood Cabin on Lake Flathead

830 square feet
Andersson Wise Architects
Polson, Montana

Perched on pillars near a granite and slate outcrop in the pine forests of Montana, this small wood cabin blends nearly seamlessly with the picturesque landscape. The open plan is comfortable inside, and the wood floors extend to a deck and small bridge over the natural sloping terrain.

The small house was built off site and installed with minimal disturbance to the land. It is off the grid and takes advantage of "passive" heating and cooling, without the need to burn a fuel. Large windows reduce lighting needs and showcase the forest.
