This secluded cabin retreat was designed for a family by architects Hoedemaker Pfeiffer, located on Decatur Island, one of the San Juan Islands in Washington state.

The retreat is based on the idea of camp and with a desire to encourage engaging nature the bedrooms were separated from the main house.
