The main house and guest house are connected by a screen porch which frames initial views of the water. The flat roof acts as a water collector, and will also be covered with solar electric panels mounted on angled frames. The top roof deck will also be used as a terrace and green roof.
All materials were brought by water and landed on the roof beach below .The steel frame sits directly on feldspar ledge. A bridge at the second floor connects to the hill that rises behind the house. The house is approached from the riverside and the land.
The interior is a combination exposed fir beams and spruce decking at the ceiling and wood panels on the walls. The exterior is clad in cedar boards and copper.
