A family house on an exposed island site, designed to sit low and quiet against the wind while opening completely to the water on its sheltered side. Deep timber reveals frame the view and temper the light; inside, the rooms step gently with the ground.
Every material was chosen to weather honestly in a hard maritime climate — this is a house built to be handed down, not replaced.
