Form meets function in this one-of-a kind steel frame construction designed by Eggleston | Farkas Architects. Perched on a hilltop occupied by a decommissioned military bunker that served as the fire control station for Gunnery Nash at Fort Ward at the south end of Bainbridge Island, the owners had originally planned on removing the bunker to site their home. Together with their architect, they decided instead to incorporate the bunker into the design. The concrete garage was aligned with the bunker, and together they serve as the base of the house. The primary living spaces are placed on a steel frame above. Within the house, storage zones flank the living spaces. The kitchen, stair, and service areas form a core within the open plan. An open stair connects to the bedroom floor above. A slot along the floor of the upper landing links the two floors spatially while offering the kids a lookout over the kitchen and living room. The restored bunker – no longer in service of coastal defense – is now the world’s coolest play fort.
