The Pacific lodge style of architecture is based loosely on vague notions of cedar lodges and log cabin dwellings of early inhabitants of the Pacific Northwest region of the United States and Canada. This style can be seen in historic National Park hotels, such as the Lake Quinault Lodge, and in the houses of some wealthier Seattleites of the timber baron era. However, most early Seattleites preferred to mimic the accepted styles of the East; to this day, historical pastiches remain more popular throughout the region. HistoryThe "Pacific Lodge" style of architecture is based on necessity. The homes were made out of nearby materials, which were often cedar and stone. The stone base seen in many Pacific Lodge homes is to both accent the nature around the house, as well as to protect it from snowfall and ground water. Most "Pacific Lodge" homes have unique sizes and shapes, and this is due to the fact that historically pacific lodge homes were built out of necessity. A small house was initially built and then later modified and expanded, creating a compound look. DesignPacific Lodge homes often feature exposed wood exteriors and interiors, high ceilings with interlocking exposed beams, and large windows. Most "Pacific Lodge" houses are large due to the fact that they have to match the massive landscapes they are often built next to or on. Large angled roofs are used to keep off snow and the elements. Most roofs extend past the house a few feet to ensure that snow and water are not falling on or near the sides of the house. "Pacific Lodge" homes can range from giant mansions to tiny cabins. Architectural influencesThe architectural style of "Pacific Lodge" homes is based off the log homes built in the northwest and national parks in the past. The biggest influence on the "Pacific Lodge" home was the lodges built in many western National Parks that still stand today. The railroad system had a huge influence on expanding the "Pacific Lodge" style of architecture as well. Buildings were needed to house both people and goods, and builders used whatever they had lying around. This led to the idea of tying your house in with nature and using locally sourced materials. Real-life applicationsThe Bill Gates estate is based on this style. [1][2][3][4][5]See also{{portal|Housing}}
