Set in Washington’s Methow Valley, Bi-Plane was designed as a compact structure shaped around simplicity and openness to the surrounding rural landscape. A singular, continuous roof form ties the project together, extending over both interior and exterior spaces to create a sheltered place to gather. In plan, public and private areas are distinctly separated, allowing the main living spaces to open toward the south, while private spaces are held in the back. A restrained palette of materials, which includes natural wood siding, black metal detailing, and warmer interior finishes, gives the cabin a simple but layered character tied closely to its setting.
Sheltered Gathering
A single, continuous roof plane follows the natural slope of the site and ties the cabin together, while the compact layout keeps the gathering and private areas clearly defined. The main living spaces open toward light, views, and the covered outdoor living areas, creating a sheltered zone gathering. Behind that, the bedrooms and support spaces remain more reserved, allowing the modest cabin to feel open where it matters most and quiet where privacy is needed.
