BHC has endeavored to get in the heads of their target market throughout the Surf Shack’s conception. “In a lot of cases, our customers want to build on their remote dream property, as a way to escape the 9 to 5,” explains Wilson. “Some of those locations can’t accommodate an intrusive, traditional building process. Our customers seem to come from diverse backgrounds, but they all share an eye for design, and a creative desire to play some part in the building experience,” he adds. BHC’s initial customers have run the gamut from young tech entrepreneurs to semi-retired professors, and the Surf Shack reflects their unique set of priorities. “These are not 2X4 stick-framed, tiny prefabricated structures with vinyl windows,” states Wilson. “Our customers are looking for a recreational dwelling that is well-designed, with minimal environmental impact.”

“We wanted to create something that captured a certain essentialism,” explains architect Michael Leckie, co-founder of BHC. Vancouver-based Leckie Studio Architecture + Design conceived the prefabricated ‘kit-of-parts’ system that’s one of the Surf Shack’s key features. The result is “a product and process that is unique unto itself, that is has a practicality, without sacrificing good design.” The Surf Shack is available for order now in the United States and Canada with further availability planned for the future.
