Marina Club House

Tuesday, January 8th, 2008

Alex Yale from Myhre Group Architects sent in these images of the marina club house at a new waterfront village community in eastern Oregon that they are working on. I’m loving the post and beam work that allows big windows to both provide great views of the water and take advantage of natural light. I also love the slight curve of the roofs that gives an added touch of visual interest.
