Susan Stoltz and David Kau's clients, Cary and Linda Moore, had a simple request: They wanted "no dreary days" in their new home. But this is Orcas Island, off the Washington coast, where over 28 in. of rain falls annually, where summers can be cool and foggy, and where winter temps dip into the 30s. Cary and Linda had some other requirements for the project, too. One spoke to their history (a hikie'e, a type of traditional Hawaiian daybed), another to the spectacular site (the house sits lightly on the land), and another to their lifestyle (the kitchen's cooking arrangement is quite unique). But to achieve "no dreary days," Susan and David had to make the home's open spaces luminous and the views abundant when the sun is shining. And when the sky turns cold and gray, they had to provide comfort, charm, and character to warm the soul. Susan and David achieved "no dreary days" and much more on this project. Their brilliance is apparent even before you enter the front door.
