Come with us on a tour of Case Inlet Retreat, a small but sophisticated cabin on the Puget Sound in Washington, designed by Seattle architects MW|Works.

The cabin's kitchen opens directly onto the ipe deck.

The kitchen and deck both have the same water-resistant ipe wood flooring.

 The cabin's official entry has a small cantilevered deck welcoming guests into a mudroom.

The living room is anchored in the forest but features an expansive water view.

The main bedroom, the only bedroom on the primary level, overlooks the surrounding forest.

The bathroom has ipe wood floors, including a small deck accessible only from the bathroom.

The architects clad the bathroom walls in inexpensive tight-knot cedar.

A winding trail leads to the house from the road, and another trail links the house to the beach and the kayak shed.
