Floor Plan of Pine Hill A-Frame by Studio Bunkley

The back of the house showing the warm-hued Cumaru wood cladding with garden design executed by Jane Brockbank.

Objects in the primary bedroom include an ash sculpture by Tom and a 19th-century Shaker carpet beater. The Berenice lamp is from Luceplan.

Tom works on his latest series of sculptures as daylight flows into his basement studio from the sunken front garden.

The team painted the exterior brick after patching it in places, like the section left by the removal of the door. “We could find the exact texture of brick, that classic Roman running bond, but we could not find it in the right color,” says architect Kailin Gregga. Painting the entire exterior unifies the façade. Rich Brilliant Willing “Hoist” sconces in Black was also added.

The Alerce shingles change color when it rains, moving from red to grey. “It’s alive,” says Marambio.

The Impluvium Refuge is set in a dense, tall Chilean forest within the Huilo-Huilo Biological Reserve.

A warm palette of birch plywood with olive green linoleum outfits the kitchen.

The punchy-colored base of the kitchen work table is a note of contrast against the predominant green accents. The table was custom-designed by Mariana de Delás & 2Monos Studio.

The wet room connects to two half-baths on either side that are equipped with dual-flush toilets and WaterSense fixtures. Gray porcelain tiles from Statements Tiles line the room.

The shared wet room features a Boyce freestanding tub by Signature Hardware with west-facing views of the forest.

A timber palette emphasizes indoor/outdoor living. The outdoor cedar deck visually extends the interior white oak floors. The ceilings and soffits are made of hemlock.

Designed for energy efficiency, the home features insulation above code and hydronic radiant heating. Note the Morso 6148 wood-burning stove in the entry hall that’s fueled by locally felled lumber.

The open-plan living room is housed in a 527-square-foot factory-built module.

The roof overhang provides shelter to the entry with an oak front door from Lyndon Doors.

The home is clad in Western Red Cedar and James Hardie cementitious siding.

La Cantina doors slide open for a seamless connection between the living spaces and the outdoors.

The home’s master bedroom and living room face south for optimal landscape views. A large outdoor deck emphasizes the home’s indoor/outdoor connection.

Completed in 2018 on a 2.6-acre site in the San Juan Islands, the two-bedroom modular home was installed in a day.
