Houzz Tour: Seaside Cabins Blend Into the Landscape (8 photos)

The family wanted a visually strong design, so the architects came up with a simple, rigorously pared-back structure. The setting prompted them to look to boat cabins for the detailing.

“They needed to be visually strong, but we wanted a dissolving structure,” Rowe says. “It had to be rigorous, with detailing deliberately showing, like the cabin of a boat.”

When the cedar clapboard siding silvers over time, the semitransparent buildings will disappear even more.
