CABINS / Joshua Fisher : Pacific Northwest Gorge Living Cabin

/0 Comments/in , , , , /by

I live, work, and play in the Pacific Northwest of America. I’m fortunate to be so close to beautiful landscapes ranging from rocky coasts with dramatic cliffs and beaches, to rainforests, mountains, farm country, deserts, and urban environments mixed in all of it. Most of the professional work I do is typically done in urban environments and this cabins challenge provides a great excuse to imagine, create, and design a project nestled in a scenic PNW coastal forest landscape – something I haven’t yet been able to create or work on.

This concept is inspired by the idea of imagining an awesome basecamp/weekend getaway cabin integrated in a gorge right on a stream that is fed by a waterfall. A challenge to be sure and one that will force me to test my abilities and learn new techniques to recreate the wide range of elements from mossy, fern covered cliffs, to pine forests, and streams with fallen logs, rocks, and ferns.

I’m excited to build on the programs I already know and use and see how far I can push them – all while working full time and having a family. 🙂

As to finding an inspiration, we dwelled on what it would be like for us to live in a cabin, or why would we do it in the first place? For us, a cabin is not a destination resort but a place you can call home. A place where you can feel at peace with your inner demons. The atmosphere needs to be ideal. Therefore, we chose Jenny Lake, Wyoming as the perfect rendez-vous with yourself. When it comes down to the architectural topic, we agreed on keeping it simple, back to basic; a triangular shaped cabin with a cozy interior. Regarding to softwares, Lumion 8 is our chosen one.
