ABOVE: The road starts well above the very steep site of the
Herron Island Cabin, where you enter via a 20-foot bridge
that takes you to the second story. The residence, which
serves as a weekend retreat, is a metaphor for detaching
from everyday life.
FACING PAGE TOP: Stunning cedar lines the soffits and
continues into the interior of the home as seen through the
transom windows. All of the bedrooms are on the top floor,
so guests wind down the stairs to enter the kitchen and the
other living spaces.
FACING PAGE BOTTOM: The sizable deck on the ground
floor was built in place of the previous deck to maintain as
much square footage as possible as the area has experienced
zoning changes since the original construction. Its angles
serve to break up the rectilinear nature of the home above it
while offering plenty of room for outdoor leisure.
