The Kitchen island has a huge bank of 12” deep cabinets across the whole back of the island for extra storage. The hidden door pulls are at the top of the doors using a very slim profile, so that people’s knees do not hit the cabinet pulls- good job!!!
There was wall of cabinets that cut off the kitchen from the breakfast area, so by removing them, it really opened up the kitchen to be a bright space instead of enclosed.
From the water, a black house with black roof and black windows really blends into the landscape!
The new 2nd floor addition has a new back door that is covered .
My sister was given this house for her twin girls, and now her grand-daughter has it. Fun blast from the past. The outside of the house does not relate to the inside of the house, which I find kinda disturbing….they should match no?
Got to visit this house after 10 years on Blakley Island! This is a very hard house to photograph because of the heritage Fir trees surrounding the house and the new plantings.
This is the house 10 years ago in 2012. The owner’s dad had built the A-Frame in 1965.
This shot is the rear during construction, so that you can see the additions being added onto the sides.
The siding is a very dark Brown, almost black, so it disappears into the woods.
This was a surprise to see that where there had been a balcony, they had enclosed it and cantilevered out a guest Bedroom which really looks cool!
There are double angles here, as the columns are angled and the roof extensions are also at an angle, so from the side it looks very busy from all the visual motion- almost dancing!
The front facade was clad in “Parklex” (https://parklexprodema.com/usa/) , which is a composite of paper and resin. It seems to be holding up very well. It is a smooth panel that is attached to a rain screen with exposed stainless bolts.
The original A-Frame from the air stripe. The wood shingle roof was encrusted with moss.
