Services
Over the past 40 years of designing and building for clients from Japan to Alaska, to Telluride, and seaside in Florida, I have seen many challenges and always chose to view them as opportunities.
Some of these challenges took shape in my mind when listening to my clients requests for something rare.
All of the experiences throughout my 40-year career, whether positive or negative, have allowed me to arrive where I am now.
I founded Big Cabin on the principals of innovation, challenging the status quo and striving to produce the absolute best architectural solutions.

A Glass Forest is created using proprietary engineering technology.
Massive architectural, insulated glass panels are stabilized then merged with towering, cedar trees to blur the line between nature and your great room.
We partner with AGNORA, a world-renowned supplier of architectural glass that is not only superior in clarity, strength, and thermal resistance, but which can be sized beyond convention and custom-fabricated to fit each home's requirements.
Each sustainably harvested cedar tree is painstakingly handcrafted.

The backbone of the Thermal Blanket is a massive network of hand-crafted beams and trusses, carrying the Bison Board roof decking and 12 inches of foam insulation.
This revolutionary system virtually eliminates ice damming and all thermal breaks, significantly reducing the homeowner's heating and cooling expense, while naturally resisting wildfires.
Our signature 310 Bison Board planks come in a variety of unique exclusive textures and finishes to compliment any project.
These robust timbers provide a stable foundation for the insulation blanket, support the heaviest of snow loads and offers a one-of-a-kind, elegant ceiling appearance.

SchaferWalls are "pre-climatized".
What normally takes two full heating seasons we do in two weeks in our custom computer monitored kilns.
Our panelized authentic full log walls install 80% faster than mainstream log walls, eliminate settling and are hand hewn.
During the kiln-drying process each handcrafted log wall panel is loaded with heavy weights on top.
Our specialized kiln is able to monitor and adjust temperature, timing, humidity, and moisture content at the center of the logs to match the specific snow load and ambient relative humidity of your building site.
