061709 rolling huts.jpgThe owners of this onetime RV park asked OSKA Architects to create a space for their guests that would be a step or two above camping while still maintaining the open feel of the natural Washington landscape. What they came up with was part caravan, part prefab, and just right...

They are all situated for unobstructed views of the surrounding mountains, yet still in close proximity to the neighboring huts for a true communal feel. You can see floor plans and many more photographs at ArchDaily.
