Bohicket House
Harmonized on the edge of a tidal marsh of Bohicket Creek on Johns Island, a house was built for a young, growing family. Constructed within a tight budget, architectural poetics were sought through integrated design. The sensitive landscape drove a design concept that floats above the forest floor and blends in with the habitat of the marsh edge. There was consideration for sustainable materials and construction methods, environmental and climatic analysis as well as resilient design. Raw, simple construction methods and materials were used to infuse the spirit of boat docks and agricultural structures of Johns Island.
