An open deck divides the 1.250-square foot house: living-dining areas are on one side, bedroom and baths to the other.
The cypress paneling of this vacation house is mounted on a framework of steel. It makes light work of supporting the deck and roof. Here the frame rests on a concrete-block foundation to put it above the high-water area of this ocean-bay site.
Under that wide roof overhang are some important action-house extras: a walkway that circles both sections of the house; uncluttered panels of low-care siding.
Inside the bedroom wing you'll find sliding glass doors that open every room to a view and make each one seem bigger at the same time. Built in bunks in each of the children's room save enough space for a pair of busy vacationers.
Under a skylight in the central hall there is another surprise: a complete laundry center, receased neatly out of the way.
The compact study is a double-purpose room you can use for at-home working, reading - or overnight guests.
In the other section of this house, you'll find a 17x24-foot living room. Buit-in storage along the outer wall, and in the comfortable sofa organizes clutter. Bright colorful chairs can be switched quickly around the room to fit any ocasion.
From the dining corner you can see fully the cool look of this living room. There's a sliding door on each corner to let you out - and let the breezes in. The four glass panels also let you enjoy a view of the outside, no matter where you are in this section of the house.
