Solitude in the mountains: a house on stilts
The unusual design of the mountain house Delta Shelter,located in Mazama, Washington, favorably distinguishes it among the buildings of traditional cottage architecture. The house on stilts is in a picturesque place, where you can admire the magnificent views of nature all year round. This makes the hut an ideal haven for rest from the city bustle, here the owner and his friends can have a pleasant time in any weather. 
Cottage area of 92 square meters has three levels. 
In fact, this is a steel box, built on stilts and lined with wooden panels with a heater. The selected materials allow the house to fit organically into the surrounding wildlife space. 
On the lower level of the house there is an auxiliarystorage room. The entrance to the living space is located on the middle level. Such a project at home on stilts is connected with the fact that the owner intends to actively rest in the mountains in winter, and heavy snowfalls do not prevent people from quietly entering / leaving the building. 
On the middle level there are two small bedrooms- master and guest, as well as two bathrooms. Also at this level and level above are two open steel balconies, from where a wonderful view of the surrounding landscapes opens. In summer, you can even sleep in sleeping bags or on folding light beds. The interior is made in a minimalist style, using natural materials, wood and steel trim. 
The upper level of the house on the piles is occupied by a living room,dining room and kitchen. Glass windows throughout the walls provide excellent daylight in addition to the beautiful views. Here is a large wheel, similar to the wheel. The rotation of the wheel drives the strong wooden shutters that cover all the windows. This interesting feature is very useful in bad weather, snowstorms or hurricanes, and also when there is no one in the house. 
The house on the stilts was definitely designed to make it,to enjoy being in the wild, feel safe in any season of the year. And it's not bad, right? If you are thinking about how to build a wooden house with your own hands, look at the resource http://stroyu-dom-sam.ru/derevyanniy-dom/
