STURDY & SOLID - Platt shares that it was an, “interesting challenge to create two houses at same time on shared property that complement each other but have their own identity.” The house’s appearance is akin to a mountain lodge, with its solid, stone facade.
Wooden beams made from Douglas firs line the reclaimed ceiling panels. Two subtle windows allow sunlight to pour into the living space from above.
The great room (above) is home to an oil painting by Leslie Irvine, an Atlanta-based artist that is friends with the Matzigkeits.
A wine room hides behind a steel door in the bar area.
A window from the bar area opens up above the staircase, which perpetuates the home’s open-air feel. The large window above the staircase lets the daylight pour down to the lower levels of the home.
The deep blue cabinet color “screams water,” says Baker, who pulled coordinating shades from the blue veining in the countertops. The windows in the kitchen area also feature dark paneling to create a cozier feel to the oversized glass.
A lighter, softer blue accents the bedroom; from the curtains and linens to the wall art, the shade provides a pop of color to the calming beiges, browns, and whites of the space. A contemporary chandelier sits above the canopy bed, which adds a touch of opulence to the coastal-inspired decor.
Platt, known for his bunk rooms, created a unique and elegant solution for visitors to the home. The built-in top bunks can be accessed through stairs rather than a ladder.
Large, movable windows open up to let the breeze move through the home.
The bathroom features striking hues of sage.

Sitting above the covered storage dock is a patio with a dining table and lounge chairs.
The home incorporates the family’s love of outdoor space with a variety of lounge areas both inside and out.
