Residential Work Harris Boathouse
Set in the lakeside area of Putnam Valley, New York, this private sanctuary serves as both a retreat and a place to entertain.
Constructed out of prefabricated Ipe lumber resulting in 32 custom-sized joints, this skeletal structure stands as a unique sculptural space. With the exception of curtains in the semi-enclosed sleeping area, the structure is open to nature. Made to withstand changing seasons, the Ipe lumber weathers beautifully without compromising structural integrity.
This boathouse becomes a unique object in its natural setting by taking advantage of the prime views that surround it, resulting in harmonizing nature and construction and erasing the boundary between them.
