Situated between three massive oak trees, Ela House lies at the end of a winding dirt road and faces placid Wannaweep Lake. Made to blend in and compliment her surrounding, Ela House mimicks historical examples all over Jekyll Island. With a massive porch angled to absorb as much sun as possible, this construction of simplicity praises her environment by using old style wooden siding and an eye drawing cupula perched upon her crown. This modern piece of architecture, based off of native Timucua circular huts, invite guests to take a hiatus and share a drink with their fellow neighbors. Extended porches in the center of each side enable outdoor excursions to take place rain or shine. Light penetrates each corner of Ela partly because of the large windows on each floor as well as a central skylight. Never has an artifical plot of land been so perfect as this 24' square home.
Very descriptive! This makes me want to see the house. Maybe even buy one for myself.

Good job.
