Cerminara Boathouse
Report
Building on the footprint of a grandfathered structure presented the opportunity to design a boathouse with living quarters, including a kitchen, bedroom and a bathroom, which the APA does not allow for new construction.
The layout is creatively arranged to fit two boat slips, while the timber-frame design maximizes lake views.
A classic Adirondack boathouse with a Japanese arts and crafts feel is a nod to the time the client spent in Japan.
