COAST RANGE COTTAGE
Willamina, Oregon
Quirky and personable, this cottage is perched on a hillside to capture the dramatic, expansive views of Oregon's Coast Range for its owners. Axial floor planning throughout directs ones views: straight out the back, or along structural lines to focal points. Interior design reflects the owners' love of life, music, history, and nature.
