Designing A Maine Cabin Addition
Customer Issues
- The homeowners wanted to create an outdoor escape by converting the unused patio space under an elevated deck into a usable space
- The customer wanted to create the look and feel of a cabin in Maine to complement the adjacent wooded area
Bel Air Construction Solutions
The Bel Air Construction team created a design that features:
- Log siding on the walls to create the cabin look and feel
- A Synergy southern yellow pine beadboard ceiling complements the log siding
- Large, screened openings using the ScreenEze screen system allow expansive views of the adjacent woods
- A gas fireplace with a fieldstone veneer surround and rustic wood mantel to warm the room and extend its use
- A low maintenance stamped wood grain concrete floor replaces the previous concrete pad
- A traditional cedar screen door completes the look
- Unseen is the Trex Rain Escape system that provides proper drainage of water from the above-exposed deck
