Paawaak House

This started as a camp, and the owners liked it more than their home so they moved in permanently!

·      Originally, this home had a ditch in front of the house but the owners couldn’t add any more soil to fill it in. Instead, Randy built a custom bridge to span the ditch and provide a unique accessory to the front of the house.

·      The bridge is curved and arched and goes in two different directions at the same time. It has a bent pressure treated frame.

·      Two cedar trees were peeled and bent in order to make the railings.
