Stinson Lagoon House – This 2,100 square-foot weekend residence was built in Seadrift on the Stinson Lagoon. While beach houses are often tattered and somewhat quirky, this one is meant to be modern and refined, yet casual. Inside, the building is zoned into living and sleeping wings. The living room, kitchen, and dining spaces comprise the main area with high wood ceilings. The bedroom wing is situated to be separate from the main space, and has two bedrooms plus a ‘bunk room’ for kids.
This courtyard house exterior is sided with clear-heart western red cedar – stained grey for a weathered look. Architectural board-form concrete, at the raised foundation and rear patio and steps along the lagoon, blends in with the cedar cladding and decking. All of the sliding doors and windows are aluminum frame with high-performance glass. The flat portion of the roof has pv panels that generate energy for all of the electrical needs, resulting in nearly a net-zero energy house.
