Soapstone House
In the Coast Range, Clatsop County, Oregon

Sited above the banks of Soapstone Creek in Oregon's Coast Range, Andrews Architects designed a substantial addition to architect Will Martin's house in the woods.

Architect-artist Will Martin originally designed and hand-built this cabin as his own family's weekend home. Now this playful structure in the woods is a retreat for women authors and poets.

The terrace overlooks Soapstone Creek where the steelhead come to spawn and the river otters play.

Andrews Architects' addition includes a breezeway and a soaking tub with views to the woods and Soapstone Creek.

 

Will Martin hand-built the cabinets and
incorporated vintage woodwork into the
interior balconies.
