Black Rooms

Plenty of natural light ensures the dark bathrooms don't feel gloomy.

The main bathroom walls and shower are clad in tile, and illuminated with a clerestory window.

The same Daltile is used here, alongside Fantani plumbing components.

A cozy bedroom.

The pantry has a bar, extra storage, and display for the owners’ cookbooks and favorite kitchen wares. Since it’s used every day, the architects wanted it “to equal the pleasure of being inside the kitchen,” says Edmonds. “I often tell people it's my favorite room in the house,” adds the owner.

The new powder room.

Pale-toned European larch flooring and ceilings are juxtaposed with the dark-stained walls of the cabin, lending stark contrast and drama for the interior.

Conserving water and energy was a top priority when designing the cabin.

Most of the cabin’s interior is dedicated to the generous open floorplan living space.

Christine wanted the bathroom to embrace darker hues and shadows. The architect credits Japanese novelist Jun'ichirō Tanizaki’s In Praise of Shadows as her reference for the space.
