For our House of the Year 2000, we wanted to bring that magical sense of escape home for good. Since then, the Heisers have applied their myriad talents to the design and construction of a family compound they lovingly call Camp No. 9. The camp, consisting of four interconnected components laid out in a casual U, includes the main house, an enclosed porch, a garage, and a two-story tower where Lou and Lynn maintain individual studios. As Camp No. 9 took shape, the Heisers joined forces with designer Stanley Hura and our Home Building staff, in collaboration with the Lane and Pearson Companies and Scotchgard from 3M, to achieve the carefree interiors the owners love and associate with vacation time.
Furnishings are comfortable, inviting, and congenially arranged.
Everything, in sum, is geared for a casual, easygoing lifestyle. You can view the house room by room, and QuickTime video tours will let you explore the house in greater detail and in three dimensions. If this is your first video tour, you'll need to install the QuickTime plug-in. When the movie box appears, place your cursor anywhere on the image to begin. Depress the left mouse button and slowly drag the cursor around, up, and down, to navigate the room.
