The clients—Dr. Merriss Waters, a veterinarian, and Dr. Andrew Fleming, a clinical child psychologist—had a lifelong dream to live in a pristine, pastoral setting in the Pacific Northwest. "They live an active lifestyle and enjoy exploring the islands," say the architects. "Their hobbies include mountain biking, trail running, farming, and cooking for friends and family."  In addition to an event space in an existing barn and cabin rentals, Saltwater Farm is home to productive gardens and a variety of animals.
