LIVABLE ART in the Glorious Spaces of THE CLAM CANNERY HOTEL, in Port Townsend
The original flavor of the brick work, frames the beauty of this old wooden door -and window.
That invites you to enter and savor the details in everything you encounter in this elegantl Livable Art Space…
Here the testimony of the times honored in this impeccable architectural project…
Its front entry links you clearly to a past of commercial ships, and canneries of freshly fished clams of the area…
but the insides spark with the incomparable elegance of fine workmanship -whether in the woods of windows, floors and furniture…
or applied in metals, magnificient flower vases or stones of marvel!…
Each a different living- art expression…
Many words have been said about this place extraordinaire…but there is no description that conveys the refreshing feeling of peace, of loving care and comfort you feel within this spaces…
Whether an immaculate, luxurious, nesting bed in the finest woods (caressed a thousand times by loving artisan’s hands)
Or the double Travertino sinks -that honor old European traditions, with the simple elegance of a Nordic design…
Or the hand-hammered copper doors -true sculptures that welcome you into your space in the Clam Cannery Hotel
The maximum finesse in a lamp or a painting…
The furniture art pieces -that offer the magic of their texture and hand craftsmanship… And the windows!
Such views from the windows!…
Such views from your bed!…
Each space different from the other…
Even the “extra bed” is a feast of luxury and comfort…
While the kitchen contrasts wood, glass and metals in a true symphony of simple perfection…
All details honored. All details thought…
And the eternal magic of the waters, is celebrated in this rare combination of hand crafted metals…
Local Star Fish and other local beach shells, with the power of glass -thick as the length of my thumb- to embrace them and hold them as part of this dream of love applied. Of art made livable. Of infinite care. Of sincere welcome.
This historical place that the heart and minds of Kevin Harris, and his wife Rebecka have created out of inspiration, determination, love of our City and love of art, materials and people, compares to any five star place in the world…and its beauty -and affordability amongst the dream-places in the world, is their gift to Port Townsend.
