Boat House

 

The romance and aesthetic of life at sea, without any close-quartered discomforts, anchor this beachside home for clients whose inspirations were both deep historical roots and contemporary clutter-free lines. The result is an eco-friendly seaside home that captures the expansiveness of the open ocean and the comforts of a luxury liner.

Sailcloth curtains, a deck-planked floor, and a port hole window keep everything ship shape.

Floor, walls, ceiling, and staircase use visible wood planking made from eco-friendly lumber.
