As you can see, the house fits in perfectly with its rocky surroundings. The designers strategically used a stone plinth and stone wall to form the base and back of the home to keep its structure strong. The back patio offers incredible views of the San Juan Islands, making you feel like you are one with nature.

The Statement Entry

This entry definitely sets the scene of this home with the excessive use of stone covering the walls. Stone was an element frequently used in this project to better make it seem like the home grew from its surroundings, and boy does it make a statement!

The Living Room

Continuing the use of stone into the living room, the fireplace offers a beautiful anchor to the room. Reaching all the way to the ceiling, it offers the home separation from its public and private rooms. The furniture’s simple and earthy tones ease the transition to the beautiful outdoor views from the glass doors leading to the back patio.

The Inviting Kitchen & Dining Space

This kitchen is very casual, offering an island that doubles as seating. What we absolutely love is the window seat with beautiful natural light, perfect for a morning cup of coffee with a view.

The kitchen’s warm wood cabinets and grey accents make it seem so earthy and natural, yet so sleek and clean. The abundance of natural light make you, again, feel like you are in nature, while still being inside the home. We love how fresh it feels as it so seamlessly blends together.

The Master Bedroom With a View

The beautiful views don’t stop with the living room and kitchen, they continue on to the master bedroom. The room’s cool pallet continues the trend of feeling like you are in the outdoors. With its double door entry to the back patio, we can’t imagine a more dreamy way to wake up in the morning!

The Bathroom

The bathroom is both dark and mysterious, reflecting the unknown of the rugged landscape. Its dark tile and sleek white tub contrast beautifully to form a sophisticated and more modern style. We love the large scale tiles that cover the walls, matching the dramatic effect of this room.

The day I spent four hours tracking down a single light fixture while three clients were waiting for design decisions, I realized something had to change. You can create the most beautiful spaces in the world, but without systems that scale, you'll spend more time putting out fires than actually designing.
