Project Requirements
The structure needed to provide slips and cover for four small fishing canoes, a utility boat, and equipment, as well as a versatile docking point for a floatplane.
Design Concepts
In order to blend in with the rustic nature of the other structures of the camp, the boathouse was constructed entirely out of locally harvested logs and rough-sawn timbers. The support posts were fitted and assembled in a very tailored but organic fashion, and wrapped in rugged, hand-forged steel bands.
