away from it all.

The article focuses on NBBJ design partner and interior designer Rysia Suchecka's partnership with Heliotrope Architects to redesign her weekend home on Washington's Orcas Island. The structure is described as a transparent boxcar whose long sides are largely floor-to-ceiling glass. A smaller boxcar located between the public space and the master bedroom preserves the home's interior openness by storing utilitarian items such as food and clothes. Most of the furniture was designed by Suchecka herself with some pieces built by an island cabinetmaker.
