A pair of Corten-clad dwellings with sloped roofs form a nature retreat in the Pacific Northwest designed by US architect David Van Galen for himself and his wife.
Called Little House/Big Shed, the project is located on Whidbey Island in the Puget Sound, just north of Seattle.
Little House/Big Shed is clad in Corten steel
Per the name, the project consists of the main cabin and a smaller structure, used as a studio and guest quarters.
Architect David Van Galen designed the retreat for himself and his wife, who have been visiting the forested island for decades. Years ago, they began hunting for property there and ended up purchasing a five-acre site filled with alder and Douglas fir trees.
