There is also a detached 2 story garage and man cave of 1430 square feet bringing the total heated square footage to 5,980 square feet The site has many complex design requirements such as steep slope, riparian area, and flood plain.rnThe owners wanted a strong connection between inside and out and although the street side of the house maintains a low profile, the creek side of the house has several indoor outdoor spaces, including a cantilevered dining deck supported by its own fireplace. There is also a detached garage with a walk-out ‘man cave’ below that opens up onto the lower level of the site.
