The cabin is set more than 200 feet back from the shoreline, so as to not disturb views from the water.

Working with salvaged and donated materials (and without ferry service), the Stinn Family assembled this dreamy getaway piece by piece.

Repurposed Douglas fir (leftovers from concrete formwork from the house build) was used on the ceiling, with a Velux skylight. The custom Douglas Fir bookshelf was designed and fabricated by Kevin, with a desktop made from salvaged pine by Vintage Mill Werks and a Hay stool.

The shed has since become Kevin's office for Tiny Monster Design, nicknamed the Casita.

Matte black subway tile from Home Depot surrounds the shower and Kohler tub. The ceiling is natural Douglas fir.

The vintage mid-century modern chair is from the Alameda Flea Market, and the concrete flooring has a hard-trowel natural finish.

In the bathroom, Kevin specified large format porcelain floor tile with staggered 2x8 ceramic Clé Tile on the walls.

The couple topped an Ikea bed frame with Coyuchi and Parachute linens. Kevin designed and made the custom natural oak side tables with a cognac leather detail. ‘Tala Alumina’ lamps flank the bed, and the bench is by EQ3.

While right now it’s all a happy blend, Vanbesien has made considerations for a future where he might not necessarily need or want to work a staircase away from his bedroom. “If I stopped working in that office, or we outgrow that office, it wouldn’t necessarily be easy to rent this space to someone else, so we have thought about how we can close it in a bit if we ever need to.”

The slim, steel staircase is designed to allow maximum light and sight-lines.
