The River Cabins

At the end of a long rural road facing out towards the Wheatley River sits The River Cabins. The cabins take their inspiration from the groupings of traditional gable farm buildings typical of rural PEI and exhibit a modern take on a classic lean-to shape so common to this landscape.

The steep slope of the roofs functionally provide space for loft sleeping zones and extend toward the sky with the black peaks blending into the landscape of the evergreen tree tops. The grouping of the cabins provides varying angled views of open and solid facades and allow glimpses of framed views out to the river.

The three cabins house a main residence, a half size bunk house for guests and a small shed for wood storage. The main residence features a double height open concept living, dining, & kitchen and a loft master suite framed by a large human scale skylight looking out onto the water. The main house interior is clad entirely in white washed spruce boards up to the asymmetrical roof peak.
