Sitka Spruce cabin
Fall 2022 - present
North Oregon Coast


A family cabin with a detached garage on the rugged, North Oregon Coast.


The site is steep and beshrouded with mature sitka spruce, douglas fir and alder. Due to the forest, steep grade and site complexities, the cabin placement and layout has been designed to minimize earth disturbance and building footprint while still utilizing conventional foundation construction.

As of spring 2025, this project is under construction.


Some project updates: what was originally designed to be the detached garage with upstairs ADU has be re-designed to be the main house and sole structure on the property. Below are some photos of the redesigned garage / house under construction!



Despite this scope reduction, it’s going to be an amazing, tree-housey house!
