MAZAMA Public House

Pacific Northwest architecture — wood design — community

Mazama, Washington

This new pub is set to become the gathering spot for the community of Mazama, at the north end of Washington’s Methow Valley.

Oriented toward Goat Peak mountain views, the 1,868 square foot public house is designed to seat 56 and another 50 outside with built-in benches on the four-season covered patio. An area to the northwest is planned for an additional beer garden and landscaped area.

A garage door system opens in the summer months for a seamless connection to the outdoor decks. The dining room incorporates performance space, and the three large doors will allow for flexibility and increased seating capacity. The height of the shed roof and the expansive windows on two sides are sited to take advantage of natural light and views. The interior features wood beams punctuated by blackened steel and concrete floors. Custom tables and bar slabs were crafted from locally sourced Douglas-fir. Outside, blackened steel will accent the wood structure. The siding is a dark-stained, rough-sawn vertical channel shiplap.

Green Design: Highly durable siding materials, three-foot overhangs help protect the siding from wear and tear of the elements, full LED lighting
