  - Description: Good design benefits us on many levels. Custom homes have back stories.....they come from highly personalized visions of the unique clients giving form and function to the project. this story is then woven into the project...a narrative that is unique. Well chosen, evocative materials....and the juxtaposition of the program spaces are clues to the tale that is being told. These programs usually deviate from typical production homes, because the story is much different. The Program: The River Hou…

  - Description: This is a custom house with an unusual program in that it is a small vacation house that also houses a large car and motorcycle collection. There was also the desire to drive through the garage such that one could take out cars without moving to many of the others. www.coulterarchitects.com This site also afforded great views of Lake Chelan if the house was located just right. The design takes advantage of the sloping site by stepping the structure up the hill at two levels at the garage level,…

## Community Q&A

**Q: Can this plan be modified into a duplex design?** *(in Photo Questions)*

How would this duplex look in Soap Lake Washington with a view of the lake?

A: Alex, This house is a custom design for a specific lot on Lake Chelan.  The concept was for an outdoor living room and an indoor living room with the atrium available to both allowing for those days when the wind is blowing.  This way you can be outdoors, with the view on the windy days, which are many.
As a custom home, the plan is zoned for the owners side, and the guests side, both sharing the common area in the center. 
This idea could be modified, I suppose, but to be a functioning duplex would require some  rethinking.  I'm not sure the common area works that well for two separate occupants. 
But, it is designed for waterfront, so some of the ideas could be incorporated into a duplex.

**Q: lake cottage needs a face lift!** *(in Design Dilemma)*

Our lake cottage needs a face lift and I am looking for inspiration for updating paint colors and curb appeal.  Fortunately the lake side is much more attractive than the street side!  (Know I need to trim the tree and remove the window box and fake ferns)  If you have any ideas I would love to hear them!

A: Maybe you should hire an architect...evaluate the essence of the problem, not just paint.

**Q: What did you use to waterproof the open deck on 2md floor?** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: I want to compliment you on this house, very well done.
