The project consists of a main house and an out-building containing a dwelling and a workshop. The roof extends out at the end of the main house, creating a pergola for an outdoor patio.

Inside the main house, there’s a large open room that’s home to the living room, dining area and kitchen. A stone fireplace surround has been built to accommodate firewood storage, while behind is a small sitting area and the hallway to the bedrooms and bathrooms.

Behind the living room is the dining area. Floor-to-ceiling windows provide ocean views and separate tables have been set up so that one can be dedicated to being a games table, and the other a dining table. Their are multiple doors that open up to the outdoor areas.
