The building was a boat shed for forty years before it was ours. The beams are still the originals, and the floor still slopes gently toward the water.
Three rooms, one loop
We wanted guests to walk in one direction: heat, then cold, then rest, then back to the heat. The cedar room sits at the back, the pools by the doors to the deck and the rest room along the window.
What we kept
The doors, the beams and the view. Almost everything else is new, but it was built to look like it has always been there.
On a quiet evening you can still hear the boats knock against the jetty from the rest room.
