Summer camp-inspired home

Kristin and David Hall had a few points of inspiration when they started building their getaway on Washingtons Mystery Bay: the Seattle loft they lived in for years, the summer camps of their youth, and modern European design. But above all, they wanted a no-fuss house. We had in mind the shacks along the coastthose one-room structures on stilts, with just enough room for what you need for a day at the beach, says Kristin.

The Halls hired Anderson Anderson Architecture (andersonanderson.com) to design their shack, with space for son Joe, 19, and visitors. The design is unconventional: two boxes divided into public and private spaces, supported on stilts and united by a greenhouse-style roof.





Although the cedar and galvanized metal exterior give the home an industrial look, Kristin was adamant that the interiors embrace color. Architectural interior designer Michelle Burgess (michelleburgessdesign.com) let loose with a palette of tomato red, deep turquoise, and bright green.
