Cabin Retreat

I designed a cabin suitable for three people to go for a getaway. The cabin has both views of the mountains and a lake. The floor plan I created has two bedrooms, a bathroom, a kitchen, a living room, and a dining room. The three women interested in the cabin wanted a table where they could play board games. The dining room table can be used either for eating, or for playing board games! The dining room is next to the living room which has a fire place to cozy up next to on cold nights. The living room has great mountain views and the dining room has great lake views. Sliding doors in the living room lead to a wrap around deck which provides lake and mountain views. Inside, I placed the bedrooms away from the main road's street noise, and put trees where the main road is for privacy. 

Tree House Project

The Atkins family has a yard with many trees. For leisure, they wanted a tree house built that would be both enjoyable and safe for a mother, father, and son. Therefore, I built a tree house that would meet their requirements.To get into the tree house, there is a ladder that is connected to the tree trunk. At the top of the ladder, there is a latch that opens up into the house. There are two windows in the tree house to allow for natural light and a deck outside for relaxation. On the deck, there is access to a ladder that leads up to another deck. The second deck is higher than the tree house and provides a great view for the family.
