Repost from @dwellmagazine This bite-sized cabin overlooking Washington’s Puget Sound doubles as a studio and a bunkhouse, but the means to build it were more important than the ends. “It was an exercise for Hannah to learn that she could make things,” says architect Jim Cutler of @cutler_anderson who had decided to build the structure with his 12-year-old daughter. The didactic, 8-month undertaking started by tearing down a tool shed and preserving the foundation. Then, they got to work. “We got the lumber into our garage and cut out the pieces, and she and I carried it to the site,” he says. “She screwed it in with a power screwdriver while I held it in place.” Just 30 feet from the main house, down a floating boardwalk of cedar planks, the Bainbridge Island cabin nestles into a cluster of waxy evergreen Salal shrubs. A drawing desk for both Jim and Hannah is situated to take in the sweeping vistas, a wall-mounted bed folds down for slumber parties or to read a book, and a wood-burning stove nestled in the corner provides warmth during the island’s chillier months.
