Friday Harbor Lantern House

  In addition to capitalizing on the water view of the San Juan channel from the Great Room, the owners wanted that central living space imbued with light from all sides, prompting the incorporation of a continuous clerestory around the perimeter of the elevated great room. At night - when the light source changes from outside to within - the soft glow emitted from the Great Room evokes the look of a gleaming lantern.

  A few beautiful madrone trees regrettably needed to be sacrificed for the structure's placement but an early commitment was made to reclaim these and integrate them into the structure - first as a structural element supporting the front deck and then by, retaining the theme, weaving a madrona trunk into the built-in bench off the entry vestibule.

  “Richard Broderick designed for us a single family house on San Juan Island. The application of his sensitivity to the natural setting, artistic vision and appreciation of functionality resulted in the most comfortable and beautiful house. Prior to construction we've heard that it was a very stressful endeavor and yet with Richard's positive attitude, flexibility and creative assistance building our own home became very rewarding. Richard Broderick's services were timely and affordable. He was attentive to every detail and worked very well with our builder providing clear instructions and clarifications as needed. His understanding of financial constraints allowed us to build on budget without compromising the aesthetics or functionality of the house.” - Anna F; Friday Harbor, WA
