Sandra armed herself with four binders of ideas about interior design, with Houzz.com being one of her go-to places for online inspiration. She bounced ideas off her sister, who has an interior design store in Alberta. The exterior has galvanized panels and a torched-on, rolled roof. Overhangs are extra-wide and gutters were rejected as they would be clogged continually with pine needles and cones. Nolan couldn’t see climbing up a ladder regularly to clean them, yet constructing a sloping roof for rain to sluice off was costly. So a simple lip was installed along the roof edge over the doorways as a rain barrier and to keep water from dumping on heads below. The lower-floor powder room is panelled in galvanized aluminium for rough-and-tumble everyday use, including clean -up after fishing trips. The couple went hyper-local for materials: Clarkston walked them to the forest to pick two cedars for interior pillars. Clarkston says he likes how the house merges Nolan’s idea of a fishing cabin with Sandra’s vision of what she needed in a home and one that suits its locale. For example, where else but Port Renfrew would two whale ribs serve as perfect frontdoor handles? Carolyn Heiman explores beautiful Island homes each month for Boulevard.
