San Juan Islands Boathouse
Located in the San Juan Islands, the Boathouse stands foremost as a threshold between water and land, an idea it embraces literally by providing upland access to those arriving by boat or seaplane, and figuratively through its location and form. It straddles the elements, providing an entryway as well as a dramatic spot for a morning cup of coffee or a crab boil with the extended family.

Loch Ard Boathouse Building Design
A space for meditation, ‘hovering’ above the loch to catch the stunning westerly views. Beneath there is secure storage space for boats and kayaks with a small pier giving access to the loch for diving and swimming. The building is linked to the shore by a high level bridge, anchored to the rock where a small sauna cabin rests.
