The sliding doors, soffit, and stairs are the
work of Chris Cantrell of Cantrell Woodworks Inc., Port Townsend, WA.
Chris' passion and challenge is to design incorporating a variety of media,
such as glass, steel, and wood, with the lighting. The doors are Khaya
(African Mahogany) and Richlite (an environmentally sustainable paper-based
fiber composite). The glass is laminated with rice paper. There is a steel
burnished panel on the face of the island. Cantrell and Raab designed this
15' wide space (the width of the pods). Chris' newly designed door, premiering
in Quil Pod, blends bamboo, fir, cherry
and glass. Photos © 2009 Jeff Eichen
