Tree House-Kiawah Island

http://theandersonstudio.com

Photo Credit: Holger Hobenaus

Description: The owners of this home travel extensively and appreciate the great outdoors. Global travels shaped their desire for a home that embraces nature. The bridge connecting the sleeping and living structures allows cool ocean breezes to pass from the marsh to the front yard; decks and stairs to pool and terrace visually connect inside and out. Most walls from the street are solid, providing privacy, yet they open to rooms of glass, timber and soaring ceilings with views of Bass and Cinder Creeks and Folly Island.

Does the water "sheet off" the hot tub the way it appears to be doing? - We did a similar hot tub. We wanted the water to sheet off without running down the face of the hot tub. We are going to redo the waterfall to try to accomplish this. Any suggestions? I notice you have a pretty good angle on the ledge where the water overflows. Would love a bit of advice if you have time. »

lesleeht The water does "spill over" instead of running down but I'm not sure how this was accomplished. We used AquaBlue Pools in Charleston for the design.

What Houzz contributors are saying:

added by Becky Harris to Houzz Tour: Tree House Living Inspires Southern Home

The architecture connects to the outdoors in as many ways as possible. These stairs connect the hot tub to the master bedroom above and the pool level below. Anderson designed the deck around the tree you see beyond the stairs. The exterior materials stand up to the saltwater air. They include a Galvalume metal roof, cedar clapboard siding with a semitransparent stain and Ipe railings.

25. Tree House Living Inspires Southern HomeA surrounding live oak grove inspired this home's tree house feel. With clear views out to the marsh below, this home's open windows and layout connect to the outdoors on multiple levels. Among other features, the amazing hot tub shown here — which extends out over the edge of the house — really got Houzzers talking.Tell us: Which is your favorite home on Houzz?
