This humble wood clad property is the epitome of cottage chic! The cabin design and style by the architects at Design and style Blitz incorporated a 500-sq.-ft. extension to an current 600-sq.-ft. residence, originally built in 1942 as a summer home right here in west Sebastopol, California. This casual holiday house was renovated and revived with contemporary function and flair, and now serves as the family’;s principal residence. The organic property design and style was inspired by its forest surroundings, setting the tone for the look and feel of the timber residence, which is that of natural supplies, light and views, with a distinctly modern edge when it came to furnishings and art.
According to the architects, “From the outset it was clear that this project had the possible to be something much more than a straightforward addition, and that the whole house could be transformed into some thing extremely special. Amongst redwoods and in a beautiful location adjacent to a seasonal creek, we took the opportunity to celebrate the setting and create a peaceful retreat for the owners.”
This timber residence is clad is cedar siding and surrounded by a wood deck, providing lots f outside living space and outside inspiration, inside and out.
Wall glass doors invite views and organic light inside, and beyond that, the doors swing open and dissolve that boundary between inside and out.
The surrounding redwood forest and the home’;s timber facade are a great indication of what you are going to discover inside – you guessed it, much more fantastic wood!
The honey-colored wood floors and kitchen cabinetry lend a warm, organic appeal to these modern day interiors.
Glass walls enclosing the open living / dining / kitchen combination flood the house with organic light and encircle it with lush view.
The glass wall follows the incline of the vaulted ceiling, adding height and maximizing the views.
We enjoy the natural grains and mixed tones of the hardwood floors underfoot, top you from kitchen by way of the dining location, and into the adjoining living space.
The living room is an artful blend of contemporary art, contemporary furnishings and organic components, like the warm wood floors and the large image window framing views of the outdoors.
The home’;s style is contemporary, yet so livable and inviting. Beautiful to appear at and to reside in…
The red brick chimney rises along the timber exterior. A car port provides shade and shelter on entry.
The mature trees tower to the front and rear of the house, producing a private pocket for living among nature, but in modern day comfort and style.
Whilst this forest residence was originally constructed as an occasional retreat, it is no wonder that the residents have chosen it as their main property.
