Nice use of the space with the offset stacking (upstairs loft). My only concern would be that open ledge when it comes to kids. The last picture on their site makes me think your last picture may be to a fort for the kids.

You ever find any photos of the layout? I can tell that the bathroom and kitchen must be in the front side (to the right of the entryway) but I'm curious to see how they configured it.

I wouldn't want to build that thing with all of the roof pitch changes. Also, installing the shake shingles would be a bear. Awesome looking though. Is it not insulated on the inside? Looks like bare studs.

I don't think so, probably just used as a three season camp, unless they used stress skin panels on the outside, but I haven't sen or read that they did
