    Thatch House
    Bahamas, 2023

    Located on the wild Atlantic coastline of Eleuthera and perched on a cliff overlooking a private beach, this 600sf. outpost is both eco-resort and surf camp. Inspired by the experimental Hatch House (Jack Hall, 1960) on Cape Cod’s Natural SeaShore, the project is a combination of volumes and outdoor decks that dissolve within the landscape.
