Orcas Island Residence: A Blend of Nature and Modern Architecture in the San Juan Islands

A Modern Orcas Island Retreat for a Young Family

When a young family approached us to design their Orcas Island home, they wanted a complete transformation—an escape from the city to embrace a rural island lifestyle. The home is a comprehensive remodel, blending modern architecture with natural surroundings, using materials like wood and stone to harmonize with the landscape. This project, located in the San Juan Islands, allowed us to create a serene, modern space that reflects the family’s new life.
