    Who doesn't love a quiet country escape after a long week in the urban mix? Surrounded by nature and stunning views, one lucky family in Washington has found itself with a stylish escape they've named the Vashon Island Cabin. An eye-catching, modern three-bedroom waterfront retreat, this cabin was carefully designed by Vandeventer + Carlander Architects to include an innovative layout atop a compact 172 m2 lot. The new building features extensive windows throughout which not only allow for great views of the Puget Sounds, but also make the most of natural light and passive solar heating.
