Place on the Earth: [San Juan Island]
Suncrest is a 3,000 ft2 home designed by Heliotrope Architects located on a 26 acre site on San Juan Island one of a number of islands in the Salish Sea, a waterway straddling the US and Canadian border. The house is intimately connected to the landscape - curved, long and low in a way that both minimizes the impact and maximizes on the site by cradling the landscape and orient views, ultimately enriching the experience for the owners.
