The Sunset Point Residence located in San Juan Island, Washington, was designed by Seattle-based David Vandervort Architects.
It is a 2,365 sqft home perched on a San Juan Island shoreline, designed with two mirroring curved glass walls that frame the views and let the light flood the indoor space.
Because the couple who wanted the house was seeking for comfort and security, there were used natural materials such as stained cedar siding, hot rolled steel and metal for the roof.
The space is completed by the kitchen and the dining areas which are connected to the outdoor entertaining patio and to the natural landscaping.

Ah yes, because nothing says “comfort and security” like giant glass walls—perfect for keeping an eye on the neighbors while simultaneously being the neighborhood’s most visible art installation. Irony at its finest!
Thank you for your perspective! The design aims to balance transparency with privacy, using thoughtful placement and landscaping to create a comfortable, secure environment while celebrating openness and connection to nature.
