Absolutely Nice Little Cottage Forest Retreat in Washington Takes Cues From Scandinavian Design
Modeled after the Danish sommerhus, this getaway for a Seattle family boasts lofty interiors that spill outdoors.
Located in Quilcene, Washington, on a peninsula that juts south into Hood Canal, this nature retreat for a Seattle family has a clean, economic form, and a material palette that’s inspired by the classic Danish sommerhus, or cottage.

Exterior, House Building Type, Cabin Building Type, Gable RoofLine, Wood Siding Material, and Metal Roof Material The main living spaces were divided into two distinct volumes, slightly offset to maximize the stunning—and remarkably different—views from the property.

The tightly designed shapes sit quietly in an existing meadow, next to a forest of Douglas fir overlooking the southern view of Hood Canal. The owner wanted a cabin retreat that would serve as a comfortable and practical getaway for his family, who love the great outdoors. He also wanted the house to have additional rooms for guests.

Seattle–based firm Prentiss + Balance + Wickline Architects separated the 1,700-square-foot program into three gabled structures that were carefully composed to harmonize with the site and make the best of two distinct views. The third volume—the bunkhouse—is placed slightly to the side, and closed off when not in use.
