Halfmoon Bay Cabin

Located on a 1 acre waterfront plot in Halfmoon Bay, British Columbia, Canada, this stunning dwelling is designed as a place to escape the hustle and bustle of the city. The 1,450 sf contemporary cabin has been designed and positioned to preserve all existing trees on the property, and is covered with cedar inside and out. The single-storey property is divided into three levels, separated by three steps each, that follow the natural topography of the land. The large, eye-catching roof protects the living spaces and outdoor patio, and maximises solar exposure that powers passive heating in the winter. A wall of glass with sliding doors connects the living room to a covered patio that is furnished with chairs and a fire bowl and has perfect water views.
