Pile Point

Pile Point is a traditional residence completed in 1986 by Hoedemaker Pfeiffer on San Juan Island. The house is located on a 130-acre site comprising pasture, woodland, and waterfront, and its design references the scale and form of nineteenth-century East Coast summer homes. The brief called for a dwelling that would engage with the surrounding landscape and accommodate extended family visits. The floor plan centers on a symmetrical layout, with a large great room containing the kitchen, dining, and living spaces, and bedrooms positioned to either side. Open lofts for additional sleeping or gathering are accessed by ladders styled after those found on boats. Broad wood-framed windows, seven-foot doors with transoms, and a long covered porch introduce natural light and frame the views, while the porch provides shade and serves as a transition to the landscape.
