Client Project
System 02 - San Juan Islands
The San Juan Islands Cabin exemplifies the innovation at the heart of the Backcountry Hut Company. A modern interpretation inspired by the enduring spirit of alpine cabin design, this prefabricated modular residence features a flexible layout thoughtfully configured for comfortable two-story living. It offers an ideal space for family retreats or gatherings of various sizes. This project was executed by a General Contractor on behalf of the client.
Nestled amidst the breathtaking landscape of San Juan Islands, Washington, the San Juan Islands Cabin is an inviting two storey System 02 | 3 Module structure. With an expansive 1270 square feet, it encompasses 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a living room, dining room, kitchen, and a deck featuring an impressive 2/3 glazing wall. Originally purchased in October 2020 as a primary residence, the cabin was conceived as a sustainable and modern sanctuary for its initial owners. Under new ownership, it has transformed into a recreational getaway.
“This is my next-door neighbor. It’s gorgeous but a hazard because so many cars stop dead in the middle of the road to take pictures of it!”
