Cottage Black

This refined and minimalist structure provides a tranquil retreat nestled within a lush, dense aspen grove. Inspired by the stark monochromatic beauty of aspen tree bark, the design features a bold all-black exterior and an immaculate all-white interior. The vertical battens on the charred cedar siding, the sleek standing seams on the roof, and the elegant vertical joints of the interior wood ceiling were all thoughtfully selected to resonate with the dramatic verticality of the towering trees. The pristine, bright white interior creates a spacious, airy ambiance, offering a striking backdrop that beautifully frames the stunning, picturesque landscape.
