Located along a country road, a half mile from the clear waters of Lake Michigan, we were hired to re-conceptualize an existing weekend cabin to allow long views of the adjacent farm field and create a separate area for the owners to escape their high school age children and many visitors! The site had tight building setbacks which limited expansion options, and to further our challenge, a 200 year old pin oak tree stood in the available building location. We designed a bedroom wing addition to the side of the cabin which freed up the existing cabin to become a great room with a wall of glass which looks out to the farm field and accesses a newly designed pea-gravel outdoor dining room. The addition steps around the existing tree, sitting on a specialized foundation we designed to minimize impact to the tree. The master suite is kept separate with ‘the pass’- a low ceiling link back to the main house. Painted board and batten siding, ribbons of windows, a low one-story metal roof with vaulted ceiling and no-nonsense detailing fits this modern cabin to the Michigan country-side. A great place to vacation. The perfect place to retire someday.

A family of four in the Montclair District of Oakland approached 3 Lights Design wanting to convert their 2 bedroom, single story home into a more spacious, inviting, light-filled home with an inlaw unit for their visiting families. The husband valued privacy while the wife valued a more open-door policy. Mixing the two, we created an open, transparent 1st floor and a more private second floor with 3 bedrooms and a home office. The inlaw unit was placed over the existing garage, adding value to the home as well as their ability to invite visitors into their home with ease.

To reduce pavement on the site, a bed of gravel has instead been utilized for the front landscape, and entrance to the Piedmont House.

世田谷区の3階建てで、モルタル吹付けのネイビーです。代替進入口にキマド製のサッシを使用しました。 内観が木製で外観がアルミなので、外観のメンテナンスは不要です。 部屋側からサッシの下部を外に押すと開くので、見た目が良い感じです。
