This award-winning eco home puts the Pacific Northwest’s natural beauty front and center.

On the remote southwest side of San Juan Island, away from the crush of summer tourists, this 715-square-foot, 1-bedroom home melds with the landscape to offer private coastal views.

Completed in 2012 by noted Seattle firm Prentiss Balance Wickline, this home displays the architects’ devotion to “living in beauty without excess,” which won this home the Honor Award at the 2013 NWAIA Design Awards.
