“Casa del Sol” on San Juan Island, Washington, is the subject of an exclusive interview with Curtis Gelotte on YouTube (above). In the video Gelotte discusses his thoughts on the project and some of its distinctive features,  including:

• Seattle Homes & Lifestyles Home of the Year

• A tower, reminiscent of an old silo, doubles as a wildlife lookout and game room

• Numerous French doors blur the boundaries between indoors and outdoors

• Custom glass railings rise to form windscreens that shelter the covered patio that includes a fireplace, barbecue, bistro oven, smoker and deep fryer

• The master suite is wrapped in glass on three sides to take advantage of the tremendous views
