A Family Retreat on San Juan Island
Two families with a total child count of five boys and one girl plan to share this getaway, often at the same time, as a big family compound. The intention of the design is to provide a cluster of structures which allows for different activities and levels of privacy. There is a central building where the kitchen, dining and living area become the gathering place; off of this is a quieter wing which harbors bedrooms for the two couples and the single daughter, as well as small retreat areas. The third structure, a bunk house and playroom for the gang of young boy cousins, is physically separate from the other two. The breaking up of the mass of an otherwise very large house into a compound of smaller structures allows the architecture to be more integrated with a gentle water's-edge landscape of tall well spaced alders and fir trees.
