Project Overview
Created as a cozy yet refined winter retreat, this 1,484 sq. ft. modern craftsman cottage offers the perfect blend of warmth, durability, and family-friendly design. With four bedrooms, an open concept living space, and a generous mudroom built for ski gear and snowy mornings, the home is crafted to support active, four-season living. Its architecture reflects a balance of rugged natural materials and elegant detailing.
The Approach
The design was shaped around winter functionality and modern craft. Cedar Winds focused on optimizing flow, storage, and durability—especially at the entry, where a custom mudroom provides effortless organization for outdoor gear. The exterior palette combines premium wood siding and a standing seam metal roof with rich mahogany and Douglas fir accents, creating bold contrast against snowy surroundings. Inside, warm natural textures—pine ceilings, fir timbers, alder cabinetry, and white oak flooring—create a cohesive, welcoming atmosphere that feels both elevated and timeless.
The Outcome
The finished cottage is a stunning snow-season escape that lives beautifully all year long. The exterior’s contrasting colours and exposed timbers create striking curb appeal, while the interior blends craftsmanship with comfort. The feature staircase becomes a focal point, the mudroom enhances day-to-day usability, and the open-concept plan allows the family to gather effortlessly. The result is a modern craftsman haven that perfectly supports mountain-side living and family connection.
Cedar Winds Detail
True to Cedar Winds’ design philosophy, this cottage showcases meticulous material selection, thoughtful spatial planning, and subtle craftsmanship. The Douglas fir posts and beams aren’t just structural accents—they tie the entire design together, inside and out. The custom details, including alder cabinetry and the white oak feature staircase, reflect Cedar Winds’ commitment to blending natural beauty with long-lasting performance. Every inch of the home was built with intention, ensuring it remains a cherished retreat for generations.
