This isn’t just any cabin, not in any traditional sense anyway. It is cozy, no doubt about that. It does not tower over the tree canopy, and its color palette is that of the landscape. But from that point on, Malibu architect Edward Niles, 71, and his architect daughter, Lisa, left the grid.

In Larry Walker's office there is a Sierra Summer Festival poster from 1997.
It's lovely, really -- comfortable and balanced, both in color and composition. It doesn't scream. It's as if the artist wanted it to settle in a viewer's mind and get comfortable in there. It is no surprise that the artist of that poster was Walker himself, a longtime Mammoth resident whose work now is expressed in architectural design.
