CAMP CREEK, FL 1999
Located along the dune line that Camp Creek Lake and the Gulf of Mexico share, the Camp Creek House functions as a mediator between two distinct environments, which are both unique and rare. To bridge the two worlds the one house in spirit becomes two, with one part addressing
the Lake and the other addressing the Gulf. The lower portion of the house has two bedrooms that feel as though they were nestled among the
trees below a thick canopy of scrub oaks. Central to the two bedrooms is a two story Game Room, which faces northwest and views across the
courtyard and out to Camp Creek Lake. From the Game Room you are lead up a flight of stairs which bring you to the Entry Hall. From the Entry
Hall one can cross a walkway that leads to the Study or you can step up into the Living Room that sits just above the dune line and views out
into the Gulf of Mexico.
The Haynes/Peters house has magnificent views of scrub oak habitat, the Gulf of Mexico and Camp Creek Lake, a rare coastal dune lake. The house was designed with these three distinct views in mind. The first floor features two bedrooms with views below the canopy line. A two-story game room is located adjacent to these bedrooms and leads guests upstairs to the home’s main entry hall. From there, you cross a walkway that leads to a private study. The living room and kitchen step up from the study and offer breathtaking views of the water. A sun deck offers a private place to relax or enjoy a casual meal.
