You wouldn’t think that a two-story waterfront barn-like home with roll-up firehouse doors could blend into Maine’s North Haven island, but architect Christopher Campbell was able to do the trick with with this wonderful cabin. Mimicking local architecture, the cabin hides next to a copse of trees and fits in perfectly, while providing security against Winter storms, and luxury during Summer’s relatively warm months. And I think we can all agree that the cabin looks great!

I couldn’t find a lot of information on these wonderful island shelters posted in Dwell Magazine, but the one picture is nice and the idea behind shelters is great, too. The family wanted a cheap way to shelter themselves on their private 24 acre island, so they build what amounts to a few large sheds interconnected by wooden walkways. They are barely one step up from camping, but I believe that’s the whole idea – they are connected to nature much more than they would be with a more traditional vacation home. It’s a great idea as a permanent home, or just as a temporary shelter while a more substantial home is being built.
