Watershack by Studio Twenty Seven Architecture
Studio Twenty Seven Architecture was commissioned to build a new modern home utilizing $160,000 on the waterfront where the old “shack” stood. One of the challenges was balancing a modern interior design aesthetic for a dream home with a desire to use a minimal amount of materials. The strategy used by the architect was employing modern tools with a focus on the natural environment around the property.

Visually, the house is stunning with wide floor-to-ceiling windows to maximize both the gorgeous view and sun time. Building a second floating level in the home allowed not only more space inside the home but a heightened awareness of the environment around this dream house. Wood panels on the outside of the home, along with the look of a recycled wood deck modernize the exterior of the old shack that stood here. Simple landscaping outside the house really helps to position the house as natural within the greenscape surrounding it. A simple chaise lounge or two on the exterior deck facing the waterfront complete the exterior of this home with details any city dweller would be envious of.

Inside, this dream home just keeps getting better. Vaulted ceilings in the bedroom combined with natural wood elements provide the space with a simple, clean feeling. Peekaboo windows help to divide the two levels of the home and create a picture frame view of the outside world. White walls continue to flank gorgeous wood panels – including in the bathroom design where glass walls and a super-sized porcelain sink provide a spa feeling. Everywhere you look, this home is clean and fresh. Glass “balconies” on the divided upper level provide separate spaces in the home without providing walls. The interior of the home looks like a luxurious space for relaxing after a long week.

Studio Twenty Seven Architecture:
The owners of this small, 1940′s waterfront shack approached Studio Twenty Seven Architecture with a desire for renovations to improve the livability of their weekend getaway. The existing home was dank and in extremely poor condition. In addition, the shack did not take advantage of the available panoramic river views. Studio Twenty Seven Architecture proposed building a new house for the same cost of improving the old shack.
Challenged now to meet a budget of $160,000, a kit-of-parts assemblage was employed to construct a two-story volume of prefabricated structural insulated panels.
Through placement and orientation, the house visually bridges the land and river yet is conceptually disconnected from the site, floating several feet above grade on piles, implying notions of mass production and a riverside site.
