Salt Spring Island: Forest Home and Studio
Salt Spring is one of the Gulf Islands nestled between mainland British Columbia, Canada and Vancouver Island. after seeing these pictures, I feel this is one of the most beautiful places to live in. Designed by architect Todd Saunders, this project consists of a 120 sq. meter house and a studio. The small buildings sit on a huge plot of land in Salt Spring Island�s Mount Thom.
The site is truly picturesque; the buildings are set within a fir forest, with a seasonal creek with a 6 meter high waterfall in the middle. The box-like structure is supported by a large base on one side and poles on the other. They seem almost like two modular spaceships have landed in this lush, isolated forest.
And if that doesn�t make your eyes pop out, then I�m sure these amazing views will � all the way from the greater Vancouver Island towards US�s Washington State.
