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.

Subsequently, a small structure in the form of a shed with an area of only 18.5 square meters was constantly rebuilt and expanded in 1981, 1997, 2003 and 2014.

The process of transformation of house can be called “overlaying” in the past organic and carefully fit new, creating a new architectural ensemble. In 1980-ies of the house consisted of three small pavilions connected by wooden platforms.
