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.

lesleeht I believe it was just treated pine. We finished it with a type of lacquer...but don't remember exactly what. It may have been a marine-grade sealant.

What Houzz contributors are saying:
An al fresco dining area under the bridge enjoys the marsh breezes. The ceiling is southern yellow pine coated with a marine varnish. The flooring is tabby, which is very common in the Lowcountry and is an example of using a vernacular material in a modern form.
