Although beautifully situated among firs and redwoods, the layout of this 1920’s shingle-style weekend cabin precluded views to the nearby seasonal creek. The architect designed a new double-height living room addition to wrap the original exterior. Weathered shingles and period windows remain – when open, kitchen and living room are connected. New materials contrast with the old; reclaimed beams mediate between them, and visually echo the surrounding woods. Window walls showcase views to the swirling waters below.

Beautiful
Loved it, would love to live in a tiny house like that.
this house is tiny to you???
M8 idk where you live but that’s considered a small cottage where I come from
Well aren’t you special!
It is not tiny. What are you talking about?
Sweet heart agreed with you! its so beautiful house
Its tiny compared to her! LOL
Spoken like a true anonymous internet keyboard warrior. asshole
@ASDASD: Your comment is rude and stupid. And definitely not funny at all.
ASDASD: You’re a small person. You should kill yourself.
Suicide is no joke. Don’t even PRETEND it is! That’s horrid. I was three steps away from suicide, you can’t say that, it’s rude. Thanks.
Look, everyone is too serious like hell. Just like teenagers telling her bf she has a baby. LOL
Where can I go to get one made just for me, very interested.
how nice. if only there were 7-1/2 billion creeks so everyone could have the same view you have …
how much?

Das ist einfach nur traumhaft schön 🙂 That is so beautiful, I like it so much 🙂
Please, write in english, bloody bastard ¡¡¡
Please, he didn’t write it for you. And bastard? Wow, you’re so rude! You don’t even know his last name is SNOW or PYKE or else!
Absolutely stunning, Amy!
Thanks for sharing this project.
Beautiful…….. for sale?
I love it. What a great interior – cozy and modern. I wonder what it feels like at night in that living room, is it comfortable without curtains over those large windows?
That is NOT a small house, my house isnt much bigger! Thats a freaking Palace! I LOVE it. Who do I have to sleep with to get one?
Beautiful but stupid.
One terrific storm, some kind of foul-up in the way the floodwaters are suppose to flow, and that stream will rise right into that beautiful building.
I’ve seen exactly that here in the Catskills.
Then it will no longer be Creekside Cabin but Creekcurrent Cabin.
Totally beautiful and breathtaking.
Wow, this is AMAZING!
Where is it?
Wish I could have one like this one day.

I would love to live in something like this when I retire. I wish all the sites that are posting these would put square footage and simple floor plans. Others could building something like this on their screen.

Is it Dinosaur proof?
how can we purchase something of this nature?
I would like to see the plans for this one.
Who’s the photographer?
Beautiful place! But the next big storm and it will be damaged or washed away.
A stunning home!

This home looks so peaceful…what a great place to unplug and get away from it all.
People! It’s been there since the twenties.
EXACTLY NICOLA!!! People just don’t know how to read any more, geezzzz…………
Beautiful house.
This looks like the perfect place for a good read. It softly whispers “cozy and warm.” Whoever owns this is one lucky camper.
Looks like the kind of place you would feel terrible if you tracked any nature into it. It looks to me supremely unlived in. Sterile.
Amazing…very good project and a beautiful – very beautiful – site
Beautiful house
What a wonderful makeover that cabin has had! It looks an idyllic hideaway.
Simply Beautiful. Cool
Very Nice and extra ordinary design.
Its hardly a tiny house………………………..
Building an ADU (accessory dwelling unit) and this looks great. Anyone know the footprint sq. footage and the living space sq footage?
Smashing setting. What a wonderful escape.

gorgeous!!
For those arguing about the size of the home, it is considered a cabin, as it says in the title. Silly people. It might not be considered small to some people but it is certainly a small home. Clearly they went out of their way to make clever use of the compact space for example the drawers under the staircase. Regardless of the size, I think it’s absolutely perfect.
I love the design and architecture of this cabin. very nice! Karel Koes Hiranjgarbh Missier Paragh
I do not expect people to speak so disrespectfully to 3ach other… i’m really shocked at some of the name-calling.this is just a home site, not a rock and roll forum…. I would not like all those open windows at night ,either maybe half-shutters…
I would be constantly watching out of those great windows for deer or even a bear to walk by!!
Did any body notice that the last picture was a before pic of the original cabin and the first picture was after the remodel.
I have to agree that the house is very picturesque. and I especially like the living room. But I can think of many places that that house would fit in perfectly so it isn’t like building something similar would be impossible to capture that feel. No body would want to have exactly the same house that everyone else had anyway it wouldn’t be special if every one had the same thing. I love the warmth and openness it is not easy to capture that feeling especially in a small space. It makes me want to build something again 🙂
thanks for sharing very beautiful houses, these all houses are very good looking and color, design combination is nicely used.
Beautiful design. just great! Regards, Karel Koes Hiranjgarbh Missier Paragh
Why oh why do people have to put up so many rude and stupid comments, there really isn’t any need for it, we are only looking at someone’s beautiful house, if you don’t like it then move on, chill out, find some peace in your life, but leave other people out of your negativity.

Glad there are a few of us that read ’20s (dare I say that the original house was built there years before most if not all of us were conceived!) instead of being preoccupied with slinging the next biting hate-mail. This is a gorgeous renovation and shows amazing talent and creativity. Thank you to Amy Alper and Steven for sharing their dream-come-true with all of us!
very nice

thank you for post very very nice . 😛
It is not tiny. What are you talking about?
which rooms we always use most. May be bed, kitchen or shower room. In USA many of us don’t pay the attention on shower room. Well decorated shower room and best rain shower head can make us always happy with body and soul.
Awesome to live in such wonderful places
