Yestermorrow Design/Build School

Based in Waitsfield, Vermont, Yestermorrow Design/Build School creates educational workshops and compact bunkhouses defined by continuous pine-clad interior envelopes punctuated by vivid fenestration and standing-seam roof planes that flush-integrate thermal solar hardware. This portfolio serves as a precise reference when detailing high-contrast timber interiors or specifying roof-integrated environmental systems for small-scale wood structures.

Interior of Slate Cabin by Yestermorrow Design/Build School featuring exposed timber framing, knotty pine walls, and built-in bunk beds.

Slate Cabin

An interior precedent for rustic cabin design utilizing exposed structural timber and warm all-wood finishes.

What we like about this project

Geometry
Symmetrical gable-roofed room with walls and floor clad in wood planks, featuring a centered wooden bunk bed unit.
Structural guess
Timber frame construction with exposed heavy timber roof trusses.
Spatial scale
Single-room cabin scale with standard ceiling height rising to a framed gable roof.
Lighting
Soft natural daylight enters from small red-framed side windows, creating warm reflections across the wooden surfaces.
Atmosphere
Warm, cozy, and grounded by natural wood textures.
Environmental context
Interior cabin space; snow visible through the exterior windows suggests a cold climate setting.
Spatial experience
The high vaulted ceiling and repetitive timber trusses draw the eye upward, while the central furniture piece anchors the space.
Composition rhythm
The horizontal wood paneling and repeating overhead heavy timber trusses establish a steady structural cadence.
