The exterior of the house is clad in clear-heart western red cedar, that’s been stained grey for a weathered look, while a path that runs alongside a sandy front yard leads to the partially covered courtyard and glass front door.

The main social areas of the house are all open plan, with a wood shelving unit separating the living room from the dining room. Large sliding glass doors open to create an indoor/outdoor living environment.

The home also has a ‘bunk room’, which the children all share. It has three double bunks and one loft, sleeping a total of seven. Each of the bunks has its own small window and reading light.
