THE SEATTLE TIMES
THESE TWO ISLAND HOMES are designed to keep you close to the outdoors even if you’re just doing the dishes (or taking a bath). They offer inspiration on stashing a host of houseguests in close quarters, or folding the less-than-scenic aspects of daily life into an open design that’s full of windows. One home is resplendent, the other ingeniously compact, but they share a common lesson: When in doubt, trust your architect.
