Vashon Huts
The Vashon Huts extend a private residential property to accommodate overnight guests and independent short stays. Set apart from the main house, the compact cabins give each guest a self contained retreat with a bedroom, overhead bunk, and bathroom, bringing the privacy and autonomy of hospitality into a residential setting. A shared hot tub creates a place to slow down and gather outdoors, while the cabins remain closely connected to the landscape and the larger property. Small in footprint but complete in what they provide, the huts explore what makes someone want to arrive, settle in, and stay.
