San Juan Island Residence by NB Design Group
Designed by DeForest Architects and NB Design Group, San Juan Island Residence is a beautiful single family residence located on the San Juan Island in Washington, United States.
About San Juan Island Residence
A dynamic young couple enlisted DA to craft a home that would be an epicenter for friendship, adventure, and connection with nature.
Restoring and Rejuvenating
DA’s vision involved reviving the property’s essence by designing the main house, upgrading existing cabins, and enhancing sustainability for the future.
Unveiling the Horizon
Removing an old house that blocked the water views, the new structure is set back, opening up a communal, amphitheater-like space. Large lift-slide doors blur the line between indoors and out.
The team restored the beachfront, replacing an intrusive bulkhead with a natural habitat, inviting both marine life and people to the water’s edge.
A Collaborative Creation
To involve generations of guests, DA organized workshops, turning design into a collective journey with friends and family.
