Hello and welcome to the latest issue of Modern Home Builders. This month we include some thoughts from an expert designer. She discusses sustainable design and interior trends, as well as what makes a successful relationship and a finished result that feels like a real reflection of the clients’ personality. See page 10 for more information.

We also step inside an unusual project – a floating home in Seattle’ s Portage Bay. While it may be a simple rectangular shape, the space has been thoughtfully designed, using a restrained palette of materials and careful consideration for how the rooms and outdoor rooftop deck will be used. Find out why it‘ embodies the Costa Rican philosophy of pura vida’ on page 14.
