Dyna - Portage Bay
Clean and simple define this 1200 square foot Portage Bay floating home. After living on the water for 10 years, the owner was familiar with the area’s history and concerned with environmental issues. With that in mind, she worked with Architect Ryan Mankoski of Ninebark Studios and Dyna to create a functional dwelling that honored its surroundings. The original 19th century log float was maintained as the foundation for the new home and some of the historic logs were salvaged and custom milled to create the distinctive interior wood paneling. The atrium space celebrates light and water with open and connected kitchen, living and dining areas. The bedroom, office and bathroom have a more intimate feel, like a waterside retreat. The rooftop and water-level decks extend and maximize the main living space. The materials for the home’s exterior include a mixture of structural steel and glass, and salvaged cedar blended with Cor ten steel panels. Locally milled reclaimed untreated cedar creates an environmentally sound rain and privacy screen.
What Houzzers are commenting on:
The wood on the wall makes the room look longer(width).
The lines on the wall along with the cabinets creates a illusion of a wider space.
14 horizontal and vertical lines This room represents horizontal and vertical lines. In this room the horizontal lines stick out quite a bit and bring a length effect to the room. The vertical lines are slightly hidden in the background and don't stick out as much as the horizontal line effect.
Horizontal line: In this picture you can see the wood that goes side to side and it looks like this is in the living room
Horizontal Lines in the walls and cabinets make the room look wider.
The wooden lines on the walls are horizontal because it makes the room appear a lot more wider than it actually is.
The wall in the background is horizontal.
