SANDBOX was selected to participate in a competition to design the ultimate Martis Camp cottage for a special site adjacent to the golf practice facility and first tee box. The 4 bedroom, 4.5 bath, 3,250 square foot home by SANDBOX was the result of many hours of brainstorming design concepts to derive something truly special. A fantastic open floor plan was created, with multiple master suites, expansive kitchen, dining and great room areas with large stone fireplaces, vaulted timber ceilings, floor-to-ceiling glass windows and folding glass doors, a unique wine room, and a bonus room above the oversized 2-car garage with golf cart parking. In addition, the competition program called for an emphasis on outdoor living. As such, SANDBOX designed a covered dining terrace with fireplace and outdoor ‘kitchen’, a sun terrace for lounging, a social fireside terrace off of the Great Room with a firepit, and a semi-private master terrace. A nearby spa ‘garden’ hosts a hot tub tucked amongst a cluster of large boulders, accessible from the entire house. Balconies also serve the upper level spaces. Computer illustration by SANDBOX (above) showing the house on approach from the street.
While the project is on-hold due to the current financing market, the cottage as designed serves as a model for the ideal mountain home! Early hand-drawing (above) by SANDBOX of the future West Elevation.
