Designed by Wittman Estes, the Wenatchee River Cabin is a compact 746-square-foot residence located along the Wenatchee River in Washington State. Elevated on concrete columns to respond to the site's floodplain conditions, the cabin features three levels that efficiently combine living spaces, a workshop, and private areas. Its open-plan interior, expansive window wall, and carefully selected materials, including concrete, steel, hemlock, and fir timber, create a strong connection between the home and its natural surroundings. Completed in 2025, the project demonstrates how thoughtful architecture can maximize a small footprint while embracing the beauty of the surrounding river and forest.
