Whistling Wind Island by Akb Architects is "surrounded by open waters and expansive sky"

Architecture studio Akb Architects has created a cluster of silvered cedar buildings on a remote archipelago in Ontario, Canada, as a summer home for a kite surfer.

The freshwater landscape of Pointe Au Baril, three hours north of Toronto, comprises strings of rocky islands along the coast of Georgian Bay. Whistling Wind Island is one of the furthest inhabited from the mainland, and the one-acre site was entrusted to Akb Architects to create a seasonal residence for a kite-surfing enthusiast and his family.
