Crane Island Residence / David Vandervort Architects

This residence is located on Crane Island in the San Juan Islands of Washington State. Crane is not served by ferry, and although there is a ring road circling the island, most visitors would arrive by boat. The site is a spectacular rocky, wooded peninsula jutting into Deer Harbor. An existing house occupied the site and the new house was located within its footprint in order to minimize site disruption and take advantage of the views available there.
