live single-family Trestle Cabin Decatur Island

Miller | Hull Partnership, LLP — 2024

Trestle Cabin features black wood siding and is elevated on steel columns on a sloped forested site.

Live single-family Trestle Cabin Decatur Island is an 868-square-foot residence completed in 2024 on a remote site in the San Juan Islands. The project's brief called for a prototype cabin model that could address the challenges and environmental sensitivity of isolated locations while accommodating future adaptations. The design draws on Metabolist architecture, employing a distinctive superstructure and modular elements to facilitate longevity and flexibility for successive generations. Minimal and contemporary in style, the cabin's construction strategy emphasizes low environmental impact and the capacity for incremental change, supporting the sustained relevance of the building over time.
