JOHN DAY MODULAR CABINS
A project that honors the history of John Day, Oregon, but also a project that shines light on the future. We are currently designing 8 modular cabins that will become a top destination in the Pacific Northwest. The cabins will appear like beacons in the night and will offer a symbolic presence when you drive into John Day. The cabins will provide a new energy to the redeveloping town.
The cabins will be sustainably made from timber and will have insulated floors, walls, and roofs to create high-performance buildings that are also comfortable from the local elements. Each cabin will offer a skylight to stargaze, access to a bird habitat-focused and native plant courtyard, and a sense of privacy in an urban setting. The buildings will sit on eco-friendly helical piers which provide the benefit of minimal-to-no site damage. Screw-pile systems do not require soil cutting, which helps keep the project site clean and intact.
The cabins will have boardwalk access which emulates the Oregon Painted Hills, one of the Seven Wonders of Oregon and another tie to the local region of John Day/South Eastern Oregon.
