Featured project · No. 38

Salt Marsh House — a year on the bluff.

Three quarters of an acre at the mouth of the Columbia, fourteen feet above the high tide line. The brief was to hold the bluff with deep roots, screen the Pacific wind, and leave a clear sightline to the river.

What we ended up with: a bunchgrass meadow on the bluff face, a 60-foot stand of Pacific Wax Myrtle on the north side, two single Pacific Madrones, and a salvaged-driftwood bench facing the channel.

What people say after a summer.

They drew us a garden we didn't know we wanted, then made it look like it had been there for thirty years.

— A. & J. Marlowe · Hawthorne Court

By the second summer it stopped looking like a project and started looking like a place.

— R. Tomine · Salt Marsh House

We bought the house for the lot. They are the only reason the lot now reads as a garden.
