Stinson Dune House – This new house located on the lagoon within the community of Seadrift is meant as a family gathering place for casual dwelling, recreating, entertaining, and connecting with nature. From the street, the breezeway is intended to establish a sense of entry, and the shape of the house and location of spaces are designed for maximized indoor-outdoor connections in two directions.
The exterior of the house is horizontal wood siding painted white, a reference to traditional beach houses, and dark-framed windows and roof coping give it a distinctly modern appearance. Large skylights flood the interior with natural light, and the custom Henrybuilt kitchen, and living room millwork and seating, are designed to make the most of the views and draw the family together. The stepped rear patio with fire pit seating and whirlpool, set gently within a composition of concrete, wood and glass, is a focal point of activity day and night.
