Project Overview:
Tinyleaf is a 330‑square‑foot outpost tucked into a steep slope in Mazama, Washington, designed for year‑round recreation in the Methow Valley. Bermed into the hillside, the 15′×22′ cabin uses cast‑in‑place concrete walls, large sliding glass doors on the south façade, and a flat roof that doubles as a roof deck and snow‑holding thermal mass. An exterior of steel cladding, awning panels, and concrete complements the landscape to age gracefully. Inside, concrete and wood unify the space. Hidden storage, a raised bed with drawers, pull‑out utility panels, and a linear skylight maximize efficiency and light, making every space serve multiple roles.
