Delta Shelter

Flipping through the winter issue of Objekt International yesterday afternoon, I was stopped by this breathtaking home. Actually, it's a weekend cabin, built by architect Tom Kundig on the banks of the Mazama River in the eastern part of Washington state. Weekend cabin or not, I'd still like to live there. Read more about it on the Olson Sundberg Kundig Allen Architects site, or pick up your own copy of Objekt at your local bookstore.

In a perverse sort of way this lovely home reminds me of this formerly lovely home.

Funny you should mention it, Ben. According to the article, the river floods often so the architect designed it to be on stilts with the living quarters on the second and third floors.

Thanks for the introduction to this spectacular cabin. The design is interesting - I can just imagine spending time there, looking out those big windows to the surrounding trees and fields. Sure would love to spend some time there. Gorgeous.
