Bohicket House / Habitable Form

Harmonized on the edge of the tidal salt marsh of Bohicket Creek on Johns Island, a house was built for a young family. As a builder and an architect couple on a tight budget constraint, every decision had to be made out of utility. Raw, simple construction methods were used with materials that are made to last and withstand the harsh conditions of the coastal south. The clients were able to find loads of inspiration all around them in the utility structures of boat docks and agricultural structures on Johns Island.
