Homes
" This allows you to have unrelated guests
visiting at the same time, with their own privacy, "
he says.
Also, with a guest house you consider the
needs for a bedroom to be more like a hotel
room. Kark and his wife Margie are international
travelers, so he has an excellent idea
about what is required for a well-appointed
hotel room. Since nighttime bathroom trips
can be uncomfortable to navigate for guests
in unfamiliar rooms, each bathroom comes
equipped with automatic lights to softly light
the way. Other amenities like robe hooks and
lighted full-length mirrors are incorporated for
ultimate convenience.
The entire first floor of the guest house is
handicapped accessible including curbless
showers. Each bathroom also has its own
unique features, including beautiful tiling in
tranquil colors.
As their personal friend, Kark observed
that art had a strong presence in Marcella and
Peter's lives. Responding to this, he incorporated
multiple display opportunities throughout
the house. " I like the eye to move from one
point of interest to another, " Kark says.
Upon entering there is a painting nook
built directly into the wall next to the kitchen,
just across from the entryway. A recessed ceiling
detail draws the eye forward and into the
home. While there is an open floor plan for the
kitchen, living and dining areas, Kark thinks
vertically. The strategic placement of recessed
ceilings with contrasting color or materials,
further specified by track and recessed lighting
for varied effects, makes each space feel
clearly defined without needing to be closed
off by a physical wall. A large glass wall on the
back of the house lets natural light wash over
the interior of the home.
The stairwell leading to the lower level has
large art display walls beneath a horizontal
window and track lighting to illuminate the
space. At the base of the stairs is access to the
future caregiver's suite which now functions as
an activities room, bar and kitchen. A corridor
to a guest bedroom was widened to provide
gallery walls with a recessed niche for threedimensional
art. The caregiver's suite and guest
bedrooms on the lower level all have private
entrances, allowing for total privacy from the
upstairs portion of the house.
TOP & MIDDLE: The bathroom en suites have thoughtful
features that make them as guest-friendly as possible.
BOTTOM: The basement suite for a future live-in caregiver has
an activity room and kitchenette.
