Whidbey Artists' Retreat / Prentiss + Balance + Wickline Architects
Nestled into a second growth cedar forest on a 10 acre Whidbey Island parcel, this project consists of two artist?s studios, a house and a garage. These buildings are carefully arrayed around the site?s high point, each focused outward toward a distinct view of the adjacent cedars, gullies and small meadow. The buildings are expressed as industrial objects within the landscape, eschewing the idea of ?blending? with the surroundings and, instead, striving for a harmonious composition of elements in the forest - an arrangment encouraged by the adventurous aesthetic of the artist clients.
