A unique structure developed when the designers are located on the forest.
Stunning forest House in Longbranch (Cabin at Longbranch), Washington, USA, designed by Studio Olson Kundig Architects has a long history.
Its construction was started in 1959 by Jim Olson of Olson Kundig Architects, who at the time was a first year student of architectural Institute. The construction of the house in the old spruce forest father has given Jim Olson $ 500.
