Modern home immersed on a rugged island

This gorgeous custom home was designed to meet the clients’ desire for an intimate, yet dynamic family residence that reflected the beauty of the site and the lifestyle of the San Juan Islands in Washington. The structure combines stone, wood and glass, designed by the brilliant architecture firm, Prentiss Architects. Stone was mixed with wood to create an atmosphere that would feel both peaceful and comfortable for the family residing here. A large expanse of windows allows natural daylight to penetrate into the spaces and enables a panorama of the rugged beauty surrounding the home. The wood chosen for the furniture complements the interior design and strategically placed light fixtures were used to create ambiance, mood and drama throughout the spaces. Terraces offer a picturesque vista of the bay just like the embankment of windows allows the residents to retreat inside and enjoy the view whenever the weather does not allow the full outside experience.
