The living room is right off the kitchen, and has views of the garden.

Inside, wood floors, walls, and ceilings along with wood-framed windows and doors nod to the region's history of timber construction. In the main living area, a daybed by Peca is complemented by side chairs from Carl Hansen and a coffee table from Black Creek Mercantile.

Upstairs in the main living barn, an open loft area is tucked into the roof gable with a skylight offering views to the water beyond. Ebonized red oak casework frames the space.

The cabin thoughtfully blends aesthetics from Japanese design and Scandinavian minimalism.

Wrapped in standing-seam aluminum metal panels, the new addition is artful and subdued. Modern yet discreet, the dark tone and slanted roof allow the addition to fade behind the original structure and roof.

“We pulled apart one volume and staggered it along the buildable area of the property,” says architect Matthew Ahlberg of Portland firm Barrett Made. The home is clad in unfinished cedar, meant to weather over time.
