DESCRIPTION

 

Perch was designed as a vacation home. Long on views, indoor/outdoor living, and spaces for both gathering & solo moments. The low maintenance and energy efficient strategies ensures you will have time to relax.

 

A large open living, dining and kitchen area sports two banks of 8-foot-tall double sliding glass doors, transom windows, a window nook area under large casement windows and a high wood ceiling, all contributing to a light-filled cozy space.

 

The small kitchen is a workhorse. Designed to accommodate many users at the same time, you can access the fridge, the pull-out pantry, coffee/cocktail bar and dinnerware, all out of the cooking and food prep area. One bar seat at the end of the island let’s you watch all the activity.

 

Outdoor decks expand the living area, one oriented to the main views and a BBQ deck accessed from the kitchen, each with up to 6′ openings from the slider doors.

 

Two private bedrooms and one bath occupy one side of the home.The well lit bedrooms have sloped ceilings up to 10′. They fit a queen size bed with night tables easily. 

 

The bath includes a 5′ soaking tub/shower and nearly 5′ of vanity/counter. The dual flow toilet is well positioned to enjoy a view out the window.

 

A laundry center occupies both sides of the bedroom hallway. An open washer/dryer stack on one side and a linen/laundry work area on the other, behind doors or a curtain.

 

Lighting is an important feature of Perch. The combination of track, task, recessed, undercabinet and pendant fixtures will enable the full range of display lighting and ambiance, inside and out.

 

DESIGN STRATEGIES TO MAXIMIZE VALUE

 

The basic house shape is a 28′ square, the most efficient building shape, with 2×6 exterior wall construction to provide a strong stable shell. One main interior wall divides the footprint to separate the public and private areas as well as capture the load of ceiling joists, allowing for a simple shed roof design.
