To say I have longstanding affinity for #cabinlife is an understatement. There’s something so special about a cabin the woods, a place to escape the minutiae of everyday life and settle into slow living. After years of dreaming about designing one myself, clients Kim and Brent came along in the most serendipitous way.

I immediately felt a massive responsibility to do this place justice. Kim and Brent wanted a peaceful retreat in the gorge for their family of five that could also be rented on Airbnb. This was the ideal project with ideal clients – they pushed me out of my neutrals-only comfort zone all while fully trusting the design process. Together we created an Instagram-worthy retreat in the Columbia River Gorge.
