This desert retreat is located in Orondo, Washington. With relatively modest budget it occupied 1280 square feet area thanks to great work of SkB Architects. Several goals were achieved during its design. It is modern yet casual, provides both conviviality and solitude, brings outdoors in and is good to both neighbors and the earth. Despite intense sunlight and winds, the shelter was to require minimal maintenance. Mostly natural materials were used in construction as inside as outside. Wood and stone is the great combination which is always about the comfort and coziness and when it is done in simple shapes with straight angles it also becomes very contemporary. [SkB Architects]
