Surly Crab is a modern beach house located on Hood Canal in Washington state. Views to the west take in the waterway and the Olympic Mountains. Inland from the home is a lush forest with ferns, native rhododendrons, madrona, and fir trees. Envisioned as a retreat where friends can gather and admire this particularly rich natural landscape, Surly Crab rests on the shoreline and rises into the trees offering both big view moments of the mountains and Hood Canal, and smaller scale, often missed delights.
