dwell asks
Should Animals Act as Decor?

The spoils of hunting were used as some of the earliest home
furnishings, a practice that extends to the present day, as we see at a
Danish house with an unabashed taxidermy collection, page 88.
We know this is a hotly contested issue, and we invite your opinion
on dwell.com/animal-decor
Anything dead is just plain nasty.

That includes leather sofas.
I even get sad looking at faux
animal heads on the wall. Why
would anybody want to own
an homage to trophy hunting?

Family Matters
An architect and his preteen
daughter take on a backyard project.
Twelve-year-old Hannah Cutler worked

mightily last year to design and build a tiny
cabin on an island in Puget Sound with her
father, architect Jim Cutler. Along the way,
she learned a valuable life lesson: If you can
see it in your mind, you can make it.
“It was an exercise for Hannah to learn
that she could make things,” says Jim, who
had decided to build a small cabin that could
act as both his studio and a bunkhouse for
his daughter when her friends sleep over.
The 80-square-foot structure, which sits
less than 30 feet from the family’s home,
is nestled into a cluster of waxy evergreen
Salal shrubs, with a sweeping vista over-
looking the sound. To build it, Jim demol-
ished a former tool shed on the site and
Erecting a modern cabin where Hannah, who worked with him on

Opposite Jim’s workstation, the
modest interior accommodates
a single bunk—Hannah’s preferred
reading perch (left). Outfitted with
Woolrich linens and pillows designed
by Jim’s wife, Beth Wheeler,
the bed is wall-mounted with a hinge
from McMaster Carr, so it can be
folded up when not in use (below).
A raised walkway of cedar planks on

concrete piers leads from the main house
to the cabin, carefully curving around the
shrubs. “I couldn’t bring myself to kill any

over all the roots.”
Working together on the weekends,
he and Hannah completed the project in
about eight months, and it has since seen
plenty of use. “I do ninety percent of my
work at home after dinner—it’s quiet time
for design work, from eight to eleven p.m.,”
he says. “When Hannah has a sleepover,
it’s a bunkhouse my wife and I can easily
keep an eye on.” And for the moments in
between, the space has evolved into a de
facto family room, its fold-down bed serv-
ing as a communal couch.
Of all the buildings Jim has designed in
his career, he says this one is closest to who
he is. As it turns out, the apple doesn’t fall
far from the tree.

Hearty stews and fragrant

cheeses aren’t the only
attractions at Mas de la
Pyramide. For 3 euros, visi-
tors can also tour the “agri-
cultural museum,” a massive
cavern full of historic tools
for sowing and harvesting
crops, from scythes to trac-
tors (left). The crown jewel
is Lolo’s collection of more
than half a dozen classic
cars, not related to farming.
The fleet includes a Renault

one weekend three years ago, Jens
Martin Skibsted, a founder of Danish
brands KiBiSi and Biomega, and his
wife, Naomi, a fashion entrepreneur
from Zimbabwe, decided to purchase a
waterfront retreat there.
Originally completed in 1897, the
home was built by an anonymous
Norwegian carpenter who introduced
a taste for wood-frame houses with
black siding in a region where neoclas-
sical white-brick mansions with

Naomi envisioned raising the couple’s
preschool son there, and Jens saw the
potential to accommodate his own
personal collection of “toys,” which
includes many bicycles and a classic
1977 Oldsmobile that belonged to his
adventurous, centenarian grand-
mother, who hunted exotic wildlife
when such things were fashionable.
With direct access to a lake for swim-
ming and boating, the house also
promised an outdoor lifestyle that
would allow Jens to be “fast out into
nature,” as he puts it.

In rural Canada, an architect imports
an American typology to create a year-round
refuge rooted in the landscape.
Architect Brian O’Brian and

contractor Tom Clancy adapted a
central breezeway, a distinguishing
feature of dogtrot houses in
the southeastern United States,
for Joel and Michelle Loblaw’s
cottage near the Georgian Bay in

happens when a client is a design profes-

of discussion,” says OMAS:WORKS archi-
tect Brian O’Brian, who is licensed in the
U.S. and works in Toronto. He created a
cottage for landscape designer Joel Loblaw
in Ontario, and the process was “a constant
dialogue,” O’Brian says, “where nothing
was set and everything was in play.”
Their exchanges led to a seamless inte-
gration of the site and the house, which
takes the form of a dogtrot, a style of
building native to the American South.
Its signature is two narrow wings—kitchen
and sleeping quarters—separated by a cov-
ered breezeway. Here in the bayside Ontario
town of Meaford, the typology takes on a

5 New Ways Home
We at Turkel Design believe that life is enhanced when
it’s lived in a wide variety of spaces. When you’re given
intimate nooks and soaring volumes and every kind of
space in between, you’ll find a place that’s just right: for
your mood, for what you want to do, for the time of day
or the season of the year. That’s part of the philosophy
we bring to home-design, and you will see it in our
newly-expanded series of Axiom/Dwell Prefab houses.
With five new designs, we now offer eleven distinct,
customizable homes suitable for a broad range of
building sites, budgets, and ways of living.
But we don’t just design houses. We supply them
to you, through a proven system that guarantees
quality and predictability.
Give us a call, or visit us online to view our digital
planbook and sit in on a free webinar.

Cloud Atlas
The best public art draws people in with a bit of razzle-dazzle, then invites them to meditate
on something more. Cloud House, an installation by artist Matthew Mazzotta at Farmers Park in
Springfield, Missouri, offers visitors a very special attraction: the miracle of rain. The “house,”
which looks like a country porch on a perpetually overcast day, is really a rain-harvesting
system with an interactive twist. When showers storm in, a gutter system on the gabled tin roof
directs water into an underground storage tank. Reclining in the house’s rocking chairs triggers

a pump that brings the water up, via pipes in the walls, into a large acrylic cloud protruding from
the roof. Water then drizzles through the cloud’s perforated underside back onto the building,
illustrating in an instant the complex cycle on which all human life depends. “It’s important
that we understand how closely we are tied to ecological systems,” says Mazzotta. “Cloud
House offers a moment to sit, listen to the rain, and reflect on our fragile dance with nature.”
