Big Bar

Overview

With a single, long roof line, the HUTS Big Bar presents a refined architectural move across the landscape. This design is perfect for steep sites or when there’s one orientation towards the primary view on the site. Organized in wings with bedrooms on either side of the public spaces, this design is excellent for short-term rental as the principle suite can be locked off from visitors while the spacious guest area is offered for rent.

Thoughtful Simplicity

A thoughtful home design considers all of the potential uses across the lifespan of the place. Can it work as a full-time residence? Does it have a variety of rental arrangements? Can it host guests and be the center of activity? Is it small enough to disappear within the landscape? With our Big Bar, we tried to think of everything.

Context

A thoughtful and modern cabin

Our design and development approach was crafted with context in mind. How do we make new builds feel like they belong - nestled homes that feel like they’re of the landscape and not just in it or near it.

Composition

Gather 'Round

The window patterns on our Big Bar are designed to strike a beautiful composition from every angle - front, side and back. When developing a rural home, the importance of 2D curb appeal gives way to the 360 experience of the landscape. Our Big Bar? It’s a beautiful home from every angle.

Live Outside

Outdoor Rooms

Nobody builds a house in the country to stay inside all the time. Considered outdoor areas expand your usable footprint, without having to pay for walls, roofs, or ongoing conditioning costs. The HUTS Big Bar merges indoors and outdoors, adding lots of usable (outdoor) space at a fraction of the build cost.

Immersed in Nature

Great Room

Organized around the galley chef’s kitchen, the great room features dedicated spaces for living, dining and cooking. A generous entertaining space for a small home footprint.

Details Matter

Considered Millwork

Beautiful micro-bevel millwork sets the tone for this space, and can be customized with any number of profiles and finishes, including painted, lacquered and natural wood.
