Architect on the Kenai Peninsula, AK
Wilderness lodges and residences on the Kenai.
The Kenai Peninsula presents some of Alaska's most demanding building sites — coastal wilderness, tidewater glaciers, and the remote fishing communities of the lower peninsula. Z Architects has designed projects ranging from the award-winning Kenai Fjords Glacier Lodge to the Old Cannery Bar in Soldotna and a hilltop residence above Kachemak Bay in Homer.
