Coming ashore after years on a yacht, the owners have been compensated with a new home that floats on the landscape like a carefully crafted vessel, aligned and conditioned to cope with the elements. Sliding screens regulate sun and wind, delivering afternoon shade and framing views within the expansive outlook. Within a rich enclosure of warm wood finishes, planning is efficient with everything given its place. The gentle bend in plan makes a prow of the knuckle and contains a sheltered terrace behind.
