Modern Longhouse
Project Description
This open plan, modern longhouse uses a simple, easy to build configuration, much like the Native American longhouses that were built along the Columbia River in former times. Clad in only western red cedar, this design seeks to achieve a minimalist aesthetic while still providing warmth through materiality.
