Bodega Cove is a waterfront resort on Galiano Island, Canada (sister property of Bodega Ridge.) I led the creative direction, interior design, sourcing and designing furniture, fixtures, artwork and signage, working with the on-site crew to ensure design was executed from conception to completion.
Bodega Cove is a modern island property that retains Bodega’s reputation for an authentic and deeply connected approach to hospitality.

A simple, cozy space where every inch is crafted with the guest experience in mind.

The small but luxurious bathrooms
Grey marble heated floors, deep soaker tubs, custom douglas fir vanities with quartz counters and vessel sink, LED-backlit arched mirrors, torched cedar pendant lighting, whitewashed cedar slatted walls, and fir barn doors.
Focal Point
Custom Lighting
The interiors are illuminated with Bocci lighting and charred cedar LED pendants. Bathrooms have custom arched backlit mirrors, illuminating the panabode structure.
Shou Sugi Ban
To illuminate the kitchen workspace, I designed custom LED lighting with the same charred cedar that clad the exterior walls.
Artwork
The art is rooted in the history of the property and the island itself. the cabins are constructed from a manufactured log, called Panabode. Utlizing this signature joinery system, I created a series of relief prints to highlight the grain and joinery. Galiano Island has a storied history in logging, and we worked with the Galiano museum and archives to source historic photographs for each cabin.
