The homeowner of this Afton house envisioned an intimate and “materially rich” spot to rinse off after a day of working on the nearby farm. Mike Krop of Blu Haven Architecture took the idea and ran with it, creating an outdoor shower reminiscent of a garden arbor.
From the timber home’s primary suite, a wood bridge leads into the heart of the structure, which is made of thermally modified slats and wrapped in a corrugated steel. Built by Against the Grain Woodworking, it sits on the home’s south side “to ensure its continued use into the swing seasons and to take advantage of visual privacy afforded by a large swale in the landscape,” Krop says.
