Zoom In |
This project added 500 square feet of new space—living room, bathroom and bedroom—to a 1,200 square foot cabin on Blue Hill Bay. Because the existing building sits directly inland of the 75-foot mean high water setback, the addition of necessity heads away from the shore. Efforts to expand or create views from the interior rooms led to the final plan design.
A combination of computer-generated dimensions and hand-made cardboard models were used not only communicate the three-dimensional shape of the addition to the clients, but also to provide the math for framing the addition. While the sill plate on the curve is a part of a circle, each stud on the curve has a unique height and compound top angle, and the top plate is part of an ellipse.
Interior materials included new concrete kitchen counters and cabinet pulls crafted from stones found on the property's beach in the remodeled kitchen.
