ORCAS ISLAND RESIDENCE

Two simple silhouettes sit on the steep landscape looking over the San Juan Islands to Canada. From the top of the mountain, the views extend dozens of miles and the house becomes the frame for this panoramic view.

Strategic glimpses of the forest highlight the vibrant colors of the native vegetation and allow an immediate disconnect from the stresses of day to day life.
