設計想法

Set on a slight rise within a hundred-year flood plain in a mountain-flanked river valley, this 1,000-square-foot weekend cabin is essentially a steel-clad box on stilts that can be completely shuttered when the owner is away. Raised above the ground to minimize potential flood damage and take in 360-degree views of the surrounding forest and mountains, the cabin was conceived as a low-tech, virtually indestructible weekend house.

 

評審意見

The Delta Shelter artfully integrates sensitive site planning, ecological restoration, and an imaginative architectural translation of the client’s aspirations for a modest tree house retreat in a magnificent mountain setting. It is more than a beautiful object. The concept, design, detailing, materials, composition, and inventiveness are all exceptional.
