Natural Splendor on the Bay—Half Moon House

large windows modern design looking at bay

Located on the San Juan Islands, Washington State. We preserved the drama of the rocky coastline by keeping the design to a single story. Simple, low cost interiors capture the aesthetic of the client’s Japanese heritage while maintaining the budget. This is an elegant, understated home; a place in which to connect with beauty outside its walls. San Juan Island, Washington.


 

“Bronwyn helped me design the unique place that I had envisioned. Her ideas, expertise, and creativity took and improved on my concepts and turned them into reality. I highly recommend her for any project that you have in mind.” — Joe P.
