When Katja and Adam Thom built a cabin on an postglacial archipelago in Canada's windswept Georgian Bay, they knew the structure would need to withstand serious natural elements. Made almost exclusively from wood reclaimed from old Ontario barns, the cabin features detailed woodworking—look closely and you can see elaborate cuts, joins, and cantilevers that hold the house together. In the sun-filled living room visitors can appreciate the wood's beauty as well as its resilience.
