Tucked within the forested landscape of Hornby Island, British Columbia, the Sandpiper Cabin offers a modern retreat that reflects the island’s quiet rhythm and natural beauty. Completed in 2025, the 2,100-square-foot residence unfolds across two separate buildings connected by a common formal entry, balancing a contemporary design language with the surrounding woodland setting.

The home features four bedrooms and three bathrooms, making it well suited for family living or hosting guests. Its simple, linear form and restrained material palette emphasize clean modern lines while allowing the forest to remain the primary focus. Expansive windows frame filtered views of trees and sky, drawing daylight deep into the interior and reinforcing a constant connection to nature.

Inside, open social spaces provide a sense of ease and flexibility, while private rooms are carefully positioned for quiet and retreat. Durable finishes reflect a sensitivity to the island’s climate, ensuring the cabin remains both low-maintenance and enduring. Outdoor decks extend living areas into the forest, blurring the line between interior and exterior.
