The Modern Saltbox

Perched above the main road into Fletcher Bay, this overlooked property—once home to a structure in disrepair—offered something rare: privacy, elevation, and a deep connection to the surrounding landscape. It was the ideal setting to reimagine a home that celebrates the natural beauty of Bainbridge Island.

partnered with renowned architect Peter Brachvogel to transform this Fletcher Bay property into a modern Pacific Northwest retreat—designed to embrace the natural landscape, maximize the potential of the site, and create a home where bold architecture and a deep sense of place coexist.

This home was designed with intention—maximizing the potential of the site through thoughtful design, strong performance, and purposeful craftsmanship. Inspired by the historic saltbox roof form, known for its efficient, weather-conscious profile, the home reinterprets a timeless architectural silhouette through a modern Pacific Northwest lens
