The boathouse is the building that has always stood between the home and the water — the waterfront structure that makes the property feel as considered as the great waterfront residential traditions of the world. The copper piece that makes the boathouse feel as considered as the great boathouses of history.
Why Copper in the Boathouse
Copper is the metal of the maritime building tradition — the copper roof of the great harbor building, the copper cladding of the lighthouse, the copper fittings of the great waterfront estate. Copper is one of the most weather-resistant metals for the waterfront environment — the humidity, the direct sun reflected off the water, the wind, the rain. And copper develops its most dramatic patina at the waterfront — Green Copper references the natural patina of copper in the maritime environment, the color of the great copper roofs of the waterfront buildings of history.
Exterior Walls
A boathouse exterior feature wall panel — the wall seen from the water, a maritime composition, a water composition, an aquatic composition, the boathouse name in copper letterforms, a navigational composition. A full boathouse exterior wall. A boathouse gable panel — the copper at the peak of the building, the boathouse name at the highest point. A boathouse fascia panel.
Interior Walls
A boathouse interior feature wall panel — a maritime composition, a water composition, the boathouse name within its own interior. A full boathouse interior wall. A boat storage level wall panel — the copper on the lower level, a maritime composition in shallow relief.
Upper Level
A boathouse upper level feature wall panel — a water composition, a maritime composition, a celestial composition. A boathouse upper level lounge wall panel. A boathouse upper level bedroom wall panel — a celestial composition, the moon and stars above the sleeping space on the water.
Bar & Lounge
A boathouse bar back panel — the bottles against warm copper within the waterfront building, a maritime composition, the bar name in copper letterforms. A full boathouse bar back wall. A boathouse bar counter face panel. A boathouse lounge feature wall panel. A boathouse lounge seating wall panel.
Wall Art & Sculptures
An anchor panel — the most maritime-specific wall piece. A compass rose panel. A rope knot panel — the most boathouse-specific maritime wall piece. An anchor in three-dimensional copper. A ship’s wheel. A heron. A fish. A boat hull — the defining form of the boathouse tradition, the most boathouse-specific wall piece available. Made to any size, prepared for the boathouse environment.
Boathouse Signs
The boathouse name. The boat name. The property name. The bar name. The founding year. A maritime philosophy. A navigational quote. A heritage sign. A do not enter sign. See all sign types on the Copper Signs & Plaques page.

"The anchor panel on the exterior feature wall and the rope knot panel on the interior wall changed the entire boathouse. Every morning on the water, every evening in the boathouse lounge, the copper makes the waterfront building feel as considered as the great boathouses of history — the warm metal on the exterior wall, the hammered surface alive in the reflected light of the water. The boathouse went from a boat storage building to the most storied room on the property. The copper made it a heritage building." — Natuross customer
