Whidbey Uparati is a thoughtfully designed family retreat that emphasizes integration with its natural surroundings. Architect Matt Wittman crafted a structure that promotes meditation and bonding, inspired by the owners' experiences in India. The 1,880-square-foot cedar-clad house features a courtyard with a reflecting pool, fire pit, and native landscaping to encourage biodiversity. The design prioritizes community, with shared spaces that connect residents to the breathtaking views of Useless Bay and the Olympic Mountains, fostering a tranquil retreat away from urban life.
"We wanted to 'rewild' the site through landscaping. It was important to remove invasive species and to use plants that would benefit the local ecosystem."
"The house consists of two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a multi-purpose room, and a living room and kitchen for communal activities, inviting residents to spend time together."
