The living area is designed for entertaining. On sunny days, the glass walls slide back so it’s totally open. The semi-opaque screen can also be opened to catch the last rays of the setting sun. At night and in poor weather, the whole assembly closes up, the laminated sliding doors sealing out drafts and locking in the day’s warmth. As is typical for a bach like this, the owners have used inexpensive furnishings; in this case, second-hand bar stools and generic paper shades.

Spheres Teapot/Infuser with Wicker Handle, Nick Munro, $140 Ryan Walker: "Nick’s designs are elegant, sophisticated and made from stainless steel so I feel confident using them each and every day (and they don't need polishing). The hand-wrapped wicker handle pairs well with the clean modern feel of this piece and adds a touch of old-world charm. Keeping warm in the fall-time has never looked so good!"
