Pine Brook Carriage House
GUEST HOUSE, CARRIAGE HOUSE, AND BUNKHOUSE are just a few names for a similar type of structure. Lake homes tend to require storage for boats and jet skis, or perhaps a vintage sports car, or even simply overflow guest parking. Maybe all of the above. Combine this with the living space above, and this accessory structure becomes a unique space by any name.
This barn-style space has five bays for cars and equipment, a workshop, and a full bathroom, all on the first floor, plus room for storage, tools, and easy access to clean up after chores. The second floor has two bedrooms, two baths, and ample living space. The kitchen, living, dining, and bar area are open to one another and showcased by the timber-framed cathedral ceiling—a covered deck with views to the river. Guests, family, and friends can relax comfortably above the functional storage and workspaces below. www.boninarchitects.com
