We were given the opportunity to design and permit a new boathouse for an existing historic property on Bluff Island. Originally the Bluff Island Lodge had a boathouse with living quarters above. The original structure was lost in the 1950's, but the original architectural drawings remained. With the structure gone we could not reconstruct it as it once was. We created a new single-story boathouse on the existing dock system and incorporated historic detailing from the original structure.
