There is a meditative refinement to this home located near Flathead Lake in Montana. Perched atop a hillside and surrounded by pine trees, this wooden forest cabin by Andersson Wise Architects strips back to the essentials to truly return to nature.

The wooden forest cabin is accessed via a narrow bridge that connects the natural topography to its front door.

The two spaces connect to the rear at kitchen, from where they flow out into a broad, open terrace.
