Portland Retreat
Located in Portland, Oregon, this 1,100 square foot Air B&N home is intended to have isolation from the city. With a monastic feel, the home is completely surrounded by nature. It host an A frame roof, sided with full modern glass wall looking out into the forest. From the outside it appears insignificant, but look into the floor plans and see 2 floors hosting a look out loft over the living area below. The open air concept and high ceilings give this modern cabin an airy vibe, making it feel much more spacious.
