Daybreak

A 1,650-sf modern residence perched above San Juan Channel, Daybreak distills its architecture to three elements — concrete wall, wood-clad bedroom box, and green roof. Nestled into a hillside, the design captures both sunrise across the channel and daylight from a protected courtyard, creating a compact home deeply engaged with its site.

"The way Kevin nestled this design into the hillside, strategically blending it back into the forest floor while providing views through the space truly makes it feel like we’re living outside!"
