Rebuilt on the same stones, in the same red.
The old boathouse had collapsed but its stone footing was perfect. We rebuilt on it, using the same tar-red cladding the village has used for two hundred years.
A sleeping loft sits under the roof and the sauna opens straight onto the water through a single sliding wall.

“It looks like it was always there, which is the best thing anyone in the village could say.”
