Muskoka Boathouse / Akb Architects
Inspired by the simple and prevalent image of wood docks found along the edges of the Muskoka lakes, the Muskoka boathouse was conceived as a series of planar elements that slide past one another.

Hood Canal Boat House and Cottage, Olympic Peninsula, Washington
This little building is the re-imagination of an existing boathouse that had no windows, one door, and no charm. It is conceived as a building that can turn itself inside out, offering a protective layer of concrete block and steel to the outside with the warmth of marine plywood on the inside.
Islesboro Residence, Maine / Andrew Berman Architect
These buildings, a house, boathouse, and studio structure, are located on a rocky outcrop with long views southwest down Penobscot Bay. It is a spectacular site with varied topography, flora, and views. The structures were designed to carefully stitch into the landscape.
