Houzz Tour: American Luxurious living in a cabin

Houzz Tour: American Luxurious living in a cabin - Coast British Columbia is one of the most beautiful places I know, and this house is no exception. "The owners wanted some wood frame and natural elements to attach to the site and felt that this should be a low-profile structure of the road," says architect Kevin Simoes Streamline Design. "They wanted a beautiful home inside, but do not feel the need to emphasize that street.

They went with a simple A-frame and wood incorporated for most structural components. Design Simoes was limited by the narrow ground that has setbacks on three sides, including the side of the ocean. "The website really dictated what we could do in terms of footprint and layout of the house, he said. Working with the designer Jonalyn Siemens, he created a minimalist but charming getaway.

A concrete path leads to the entrance. A door from the dressing room is right. The exterior frame is Douglas fir without the heart of the wood. Simoes explains that because the wood shrinks and expands, you do not want to work with the heart, or the colonial center of the wood. non-core wood is less likely to expand, contract or bend over time

"Normally, we would not put that kind of beam structure in an area where only the vertical post is needed, said Simoes. "But we wanted to add additional visual interest, and the bundle of work defines the kitchen space, not only when you are down to the top, but when you are in the attic looking down. He joined the station structure which supports the ridge beam in the kitchen island. "Rather than having an autonomous position, we wanted to integrate the island to give it a little more mass and land it.
