The Pleasant Beach Shop was designed to compliment an existing main house constructed in the early 2,000s. The shop supports a functioning, thriving woodworking business and fits elegantly and unobtrusively into the surrounding neighborhood. The shop is illuminated by natural and artificial light, and light is regulated via a continuous monitor along the ridge of the roof. This unique lighting solution serves the needs of the shop and acts as a lantern in the forested setting during the evening.
