Seattle-based SHED Architecture & Design has created a complementary two-story bunkhouse for an existing family cabin on Guemes Island, Washington.

Nestled on an idyllic site with sweeping views of the Bellingham Channel, this new bunkhouse provides additional sleeping quarters for the owner’s 100–year–old log cabin, which could no longer accommodate her growing family.

Designed for rest, quiet work, and lasting memories, this new bunkhouse is intended to be passed down in the family for generations to come.

Unique to neighboring properties, the cabin is situated just inside the treeline instead of at the water’s edge. The result feels private and secluded while capturing views to the west.

The new bunkhouse is positioned above an existing well house that had run dry.

A covered porch leads to the bunkhouse entry and lower level comprised of a kitchenette, a built-in desk, and a bathroom designed to accommodate multiple users simultaneously.

The bunkhouse is designed to reference the rustic log cabin and the half-round log siding on the original well house.

The design incorporates low-maintenance materials including stainless steel, plywood, and sheet marmoleum, and employs built-in casework throughout.
