Perched on a rocky ridge on a remote island in Juan de Fuca Strait, this self-sufficient home combines a studied geometric formality with organic and sensuous interventions. Exposed glulam beams and rafters curve through the interior, forming sculptural spaces. Each space flows and overlaps in a fluid plan where inside and outside spaces are blurred.
