The dream
A west-facing casita on the lake: yakisugi cedar, white-oak calm, a single big window for the sunset.
Form follows function
Casita 176 oriented to catch the last hour of daylight across Lake Joseph. Yakisugi outside, oak inside, board-formed concrete plinth, one full-height west window doing the heavy lifting.
