Architect: Nicholas Mobilia

I was asked to develop a schematic design for a private cabin on a rural site in Warren, PA. Situated on land jointly owned by several families the cabin is intended to serve as a gathering place and weekend home. Two design options were developed. Version 2 is a contemporary take on a traditional saltbox style design.

Organized around a communicating stair the plan features oversized, light filled living areas and an expansive deck to create a warm and inviting place for family and friends to gather. The uncomplicated geometry and simple exterior material palette seek to keep the focus on landscape surrounding the house as well as to minimize construction costs.
