Cascade Mountains Modernist Vacation Home

Packwood, WA, USA

Description

Located in easternmost Lewis County, Washington, on a remote granite knuckle in the Cascade Mountains, this 2,500 ft2 (230 m2) modernist vacation home dominates a rugged, mountainous landscape. Designed by Apollo Design Studio, an architectural firm based in Seattle, the visually striking residence is built on structural members of steel and wood; the building’s enormous glass walls enable panoramic views of Mount Rainier and the Cowlitz River Valley. The foundation structure is made of board-formed concrete and steel superstructure.


Products Used

Easily mixed in during batching and unaffected by climatic conditions, PENETRON ADMIX SB becomes an integral part of the concrete matrix by reacting to moisture in fresh concrete, which generates a non-soluble crystalline formation throughout the pores and capillary tracts of the concrete. These crystals permanently seal the microcracks, pores and capillaries in the concrete, making it impermeable to the penetration of water or liquids from any direction.
