Overhanging roof

Q

Perforated floor..

Q

KS Zero maintenance exterior; There is some economy in simple form and structure.

Q

Photo

Looks like the same foot print kinda.. KS The steel trusses are fantastic. Definitely a more expensive route that wood frame roof structure, but look what you get. Totally. I love the steel trusses.

Q

Photo

Masonry fireplace. KS Are you preferring a masonry fireplace vs. woodstove? Hmmm. Good question. I could see either one working well. I think as the design develops, the right choice will become apparent.

Beautiful

Q

KS Interesting mix of elegant steel and fun idea. A fun guest-house, and beautifully detailed.

Q

Photo

Just looking at ways to get around the foot print issue. KS We will need to get a reading from the building department on what kind of overhangs and eaves we can have beyond the footprint. Correct. We will get into that right off the bat.

Q

Photo

All of this is amazing!! And using all the materials we have been talking about. KS Very nice and open feeling with good inside and outside feeling.

Q

Photo

Tansu stairs. Really like that.

Q

Photo

Looks like a restaurant type kitchen. The veneer plywood ceiling is nice as well (vs. sheetrock).

Q

Photo
Photo

Floating stairs. I've done a stair like this in the past. Tough to get the 'no handrail' feature to pass final inspection :)

Q

Photo

Cool materials. I like the walkway working around the room. It could make room for little private places...

Q

Photo
Photo

Hanging stairs. Light and airy..

Q

Photo

OMG!

Q

Photo

Just more aesthetic ideas.. Very ship-like.

Q

Photo

More cozy..

Q

Whooo Ahhhh....

I don’t know what’s going on here, but I like it.

Q

Photo

Barrel vault is nice and cozy. Agreed-KS

Q

Photo

Love this Idea... but a little kitschy. Yes, it can easily slip into a Disneyland/Kitschy realm pretty quickly-KS

Q

Photo

Wow. Are you cool with exposed steel ducts like this? It can be done well.-KS

Q

Photo

I like the recycled boat hull. It could also be used as facia somewhere else possibly..

Q

Photo

I like the blue and white contrast. And those drawer pulls Yes Please!

Q

Photo

Interesting. I’v never seen a set up like this..

Q

Photo

Great space saver.

Q

Photo

This is a sliding glass door with manual wheel and chain driver. Love this, too. -KS

Q

Photo

Wood structure with steel tension rods.

Q

Photo

KSA Project. Zero maintenance exterior. Cor-Ten steel, galvanized and powder coated steel, aluminum bar-grating 'gangplank' entryway.

Q

Photo

Living on the water with low-zero maintenance exterior.

Q

Photo

Marine grade plywood interior walls for durability, as an alternative to sheet-rock.

Q

Photo

Exterior 'living room' under cover. Storage Bench seat idea.

Q

Photo

KSA project. restaurant type kitchen. Durable, open shelves, easy access to everything.

Q

Photo

Just had to throw this in. Re-purposed ship hulls.

Q

Photo

When I saw Paul's comment, 'fishing from my living room' I thought of this photo.

Q

Photo

Anne's mention of Japanese fishing villages and Paul's love for living on the water...I post this more for the spirit of the project, not necessarily for it's materials and form. I do find it interesting how the people or culture is accepting of natural weathering.
