Main Cabin
Architecture by Bosworth Hoedemaker
Interior Design by Garret Cord Werner
his San Juan Islands retreat is based on the idea of camp. It provides places to come together as a family and ways of retreating into small personal spaces. A main house has four public spaces arranged along a central axis – the kitchen, dining room, living room, and den. Behind these more generous spaces are a fireplace inglenook, mud room, laundry, office, and bath. Other buildings in the compound include a master cabin, writer’s hut, guest cabin, barn, and picnic shelter. With the exception of the barn, the buildings are located along a contour of the sloped site and connected between and through the buildings by a continuous path.

What Houzz contributors are saying:
added by Kit Pollard to Traditional, Not Stodgy: Oh Yes, It's Possible
This pretty kitchen has a fantastic set of shelves - they're surprising in front of the window, but look really nice.
added by The Lettered Cottage to 8 Inspiring Ingredients to Create a Come-Hither Kitchen
I'm a sucker for transom windows and pocket doors. They're presence would make entering this kitchen just as fun as being in it.
added by Alison Aves to Houzz Tour: San Juan Islands Retreat
The stone countertops — a gray that he describes as neither warm nor cool — are meant to wear with time. "The open shelves preserve the light and view through the oversized windows without blocking more than necessary," he says. "They also provide great contrast and tracery for the objects presented. Open shelves are great for a house that has a lot of visitors as nobody has to be told where the wine glasses are in order to set the table."
added by Lily Gahagan to Idea of the Week: Float Shelves in Front of Windows
When you're low on cabinet space but don't want to block a window, a few floating shelves can have you covered. Not only do they make it easy for guests to help themselves to a cup of coffee or a glass of wine, they can be placed directly in front of windows without blocking any light. Try saying that about a wall of cabinets!

added by Erika Ward - Erika Ward Interiors to How to Store Your Stuff in Plain Sight
If wall space is at a premium, install glass shelving in front of a window. As long as you contain the area to glassware, there is little interruption of your sightline to the outdoors.
