North Shore Cottages

This unique structure was the newest addition to the rental retreat cabins at North Shore Cottages on Orcas Island. Designed by world renowned artist James Hubbell, this highly creative and challenging project evokes an organic feeling and looks as if it grew up from the earth. Using compound curves throughout, techniques used included plaster lathe for concave interior walls and ceilings, arched cedar siding and sweeping waves of river rocks. Decatur Construction employed dozens of artisans for crafts such as custom fit cabinetry and furniture, forged iron, brass and copper, extensive mosaic work and wood sculptures.
