5 Island Retreats Accessible Only by Boat

By Dwell @dwell

This 1,800-square-foot house is the first Certified Passive House on the San Juan Islands in Washington, and it’s only the fourth in the state. The home, designed by Olympia-based firm The Artisans Group, has a circular floor plan that centers around a prefabricated pod that contains the kitchen and two bathrooms. Large portions of the home were prefabricated and brought to the island via cranes.
