Gabe's House

The Iwaki cast-iron wood stove by Invicta keeps the space warm during Poland’s cold winters.

Nearly every wall of the cabin is fitted with bookshelves.

Floor-to-ceiling windows on the front facade of the cabin allow guests to take in views of the woods and sand dunes.

The giant shutters can easily be opened and closed by one person.

Oversized pine shutters can be closed to protect the glass facade.

The living room extends into the great outdoors with a spruce deck.

A trifecta of pendants spruce up the casual dining space. Kim’s daughter Molly, who was also instrumental to the design vision, is a West Coast–based chef. She weighed in on the layout, from roasting pans to compost bins, essentially upgrading it to commercial standards.

A lap pool fills the expanse between the music studio and the house.

Built as a live/work space for a sculptor, Indigo by Dutch practice Woonpioniers is an eco-friendly, prefabricated cabin with bent wooden walls.
