Gambier Island Waterfront Hideaway
Nestled into the trees, the simple forms of this home on Gambier Island seem one with nature. Designed to collect rainwater and exhaust the home’s warm air in the summer, the double-incline roof is defined by exposed beams of beautiful Douglas fir.
The original plan was designed with a growing family in mind, but also works well for this client’s destination location and entertaining guests. The 3 bedroom, 3 bath home features ensuite bedrooms on both floors. See the full gallery here.
