Environmentally Friendly Seaside Retreat in the Pacific Northwest

Nestled into the landscape on a rocky shoreline, this modern cabin is located within the San Juan Islands National Monument on Orcas Island, Washington.

Heliotrope Architects designed the 1,600 sq. ft. home with retractable wall panels which open up to the outdoors on sunny days and protect the home from storms in the winter.

Natural materials such as douglas fir and western red cedar are used to built the house and a garden roof blends in with the environment.
