Designed as a retreat for a busy Portland-based family, the architecture captures unexpected ocean views and ample outdoor living space on a petite lot just south of Manzanita's main drag.
A carefully considered coastal retreat, in the heart of Manzanita, Oregon.

Peek-a-boo Neakahnie Mountain views are captured from the front terrace. When the lot was acquired, the thought of any kind of view was a distant wish. Through careful site study and code review, we were pleased to present a design that allowed for both connection to the ocean and the iconic Neakahnie ridge, a calling card in the Manzanita landscape.
Shou sugi ban, a charred Japanese cedar, was selected for itâs enhanced durability and aesthetic beauty. In the entry court, an outdoor shower provides a critical covered transition space after a surf session. The home is just steps from the sand and the coveted Manzanita beach walk.
As you move further into the site, an open air courtyard is revealed.
The interior finish palette of white oak, walnut, and natural tumbled marble compliment the connection to exterior Japanese cedar.
