Attic space above lake house garage turned into a fun camping themed bunk room/playroom combo for kids. Four built-in Twin XL beds provide comfortable sleeping arrangements for kids and even adults when extra space is needed at this lake house. A play area with a campfire and built-in bookcases holding many vintage camping finds make imaginary play come to life.

Utilizing reclaimed wood and handscribed logs, the playhouse features a log ladder, curved slide, swings, glider, and a steering wheel and telescope to enable all kinds of imaginary fun. Underneath, kids can dig in the shaded sandbox or test their skills on the built-in monkey bars, while inside, a vaulted ceiling provides plenty of headroom for grownups to join in on the action.

Photo: Michael K. Wilkinson These homeowners wanted built-in shelves to display their art objects and books. Our designer was inspired by the Dutch artist Piet Mondrian's rectangular shapes to create asymmetrical shelving. The room's window becomes one of the rectangular elements of the design.

The Elliott Bay House is located on an urban site facing Puget Sound in Washington State. The architectural massing of the house has been wrapped around a south-facing, courtyard dominated by a large reflecting pool with two “floating” basalt boulders. The main living space has sweeping westerly views of Puget Sound and the Olympic Mountains. The east side of the living space is the courtyard with reflecting pool, providing a sense of intimacy and quiet in contrast to the dramatic views on the west side. Similar to other FINNE projects, a strong sense of “crafted modernism” is present in the house. A water jet-cut steel fence and gate leads to the house entry. Stainless steel stands elevate the basalt boulders in the pool so they hover slightly above the water’s surface. Roof drainage from the living space drops onto the basalt boulder in a 10-ft. waterfall. Exterior siding is custom stained red cedar with two different patterns and colors. The striking steel and wood stairs have water jet-cut steel railings with a pattern based on hand-drawn ink brush strokes. The beech interior cabinets have a custom topographic milled pattern called “imaginary landscape.” Freeform steel lighting bars in the ceiling tie together the kitchen and dining spaces. The house is highly energy efficient and sustainable. All roof drainage is directed to the reflecting pool for collection. The house is insulated 30% higher than code. Radiant heating is used throughout; generous glass areas provide natural lighting and ventilation; large overhangs are used for sun and snow protection; interior wood is FSC certified. The house has been pre-wired for photovoltaic roof panels, and an electric vehicle charging station has been installed in the garage.
