On the rugged coast at Bandon, Oregon, Strand Design designed a retreat as two primary volumes joined by a glazed breezeway that frames the Pacific beyond. The house is shaped by weather, light and the long view, with sheltered outdoor spaces held between the ocean and a courtyard so the family can be outside even when the wind picks up.
Dark wood cladding wraps the exterior. A wood-clad entry opens to a glazed courtyard that holds a single tree, and skylit stairs and halls carry daylight through the plan. Living, dining and kitchen spaces unfold around framed ocean views and the sea stacks offshore, and open directly to terraces outside.
Interiors by Terra Firma Home keep to light wood and soft white finishes, from the stair to the bedrooms and a bath with a freestanding tub, so the rooms stay quiet against the drama of the coast. The project has been featured in Artful Living.
