A weekend home has a different maintenance profile than a primary residence — it sits unattended for stretches, and nobody wants to spend the first hour of a getaway dealing with a stuck drawer or a mildewed cushion.
We lean on sealed, low-porosity stone in wet areas, powder-coated rather than painted metal for anything outdoors, and fabrics rated for humidity rather than simply chosen for colour. None of this reads as a compromise once it's installed — it just means the house is ready the moment you walk in.
The other consideration is simplicity of systems: fewer smart-home dependencies, more manual overrides. A weekend home that requires a working app to turn on the water heater is a weekend home that will occasionally leave you without hot water.
