Modern Urban Cabin

A detached, private guest house in the outdoorsy mecca of Bend, Oregon, this modern cabin was created by its architect owner, Christopher Phillips of Analogous Architecture of Seattle. The standalone shed strikes the classic cabin high notes, yet it’s decidedly urban, with an artful architectural footprint and a can’t-beat-it location for combining city living with outdoor recreation.

Architect-Designed Urban Retreat

With its abundance of wood inside and out, its classic woodburning stove, and a picnic-ready patio with a fire pit, this architect-designed urban retreat manages to be at once cabin-like and contemporary. It cuts an angular figure brightened by oversized panes of glass and sleekly sensible modular furnishings like its galley kitchen with a prep island and its mezzanine workspace.

Three bedrooms are tucked under its sharply sloping roof, one king downstairs and two more sleep spaces upstairs adjacent to a living area and work-from-home desk. The rooms share a downstairs bath, and the main floor’s open-plan kitchen/dining/living area opens to the patio and yard, equipped with a picnic table and seating around a fire pit, ensuring indoor-outdoor living.

The property is accessed down a private alley to a driveway entry.

Around

This cabin is located at the heart of Bend, Oregon, in a quiet residential area that's easy walking distance from downtown and Bend’s lively Galveston and Newport Avenues. The city is one of America's fastest-growing, with its influx of outdoor adventure types who come for its year-round sports options and sunny, high-desert climate. The small city is set on the Deschutes River east of Oregon’s famed Cascade Mountains, with ski resorts, mountain biking, rock climbing, hiking, mountaineering, and a wealth of craft breweries, youthful art outlets, restaurants, and local food markets.

The river winds through Bend until it reaches a dam and pools at Mirror Pond, and it includes a whitewater park, set-ins for easy floating, paddling, and SUP fun, with rental and instruction options. Miles of hiking and biking trails cross through the city, and there’s even an extinct volcano within the city limits, with trails leading up the Pilot Butte. Mt. Bachelor Ski Resort is about 20 miles west of the city on another volcano, this one a “stratovolcano” in the Cascade Range, offering 12 lifts and more than 4,300 skiable acres that are open from November to May. Mountain bikers consider Bend a year-round destination, with hundreds of well-maintained trails of all skill levels running along the river, through local and natural/state parks and national forest areas, as well as Smith Rock and Mt. Bachelor, and in the steeps of the Cascades, too.

Craft breweries and coffee houses were arguably born in the PNW, and Bend offers dozens to choose from, along with a vibrant local wine scene, overflowing farmers’ markets and a dedicated, farm-to-table sustainable local dining scene.
