Introducing our New Line of Coastal Cabin Kits

Anyone who’s traveled to the Oregon Coast can attest to its breathtaking natural beauty and allure. With its pristine beaches, magnificent evergreens, and soaring dunes, the Oregon Coast is one of the most stunning and accessible natural wonders in the world — and that’s not just us exaggerating or bragging about our home state!

When designing our new line of modern cabins, we created these structures with a vision of Oregon’s sensational coastal terrain as their backdrop. Taking inspiration from modern Scandinavian-style cabins, we crafted three contemporary cabin models — all named after some of Oregon’s most notable beach towns — that wouldn’t just complement the Oregon Coast but exude its uniqueness and beauty in any natural environment. 

Whether you’re seeking a stunning vacation rental or planning to develop a beachside resort, our brand-new contemporary cabins will undoubtedly make valuable and lucrative investments for your upcoming projects. Continue reading below to learn more about these new prefab cabin designs and the massive potential awaiting your chosen kit. 

The Manzanita

The Manzanita Cabin Kit is a gorgeous three-bedroom, two-bathroom cabin design named after one of Oregon’s favorite beach cities. This clear-span structure offers a compact yet spacious floor plan that includes a 924 sq. ft. main level, a 443 sq. ft. enclosed loft space, and a 276 sq. ft. covered patio with a heavy timber overhang — perfect for scenic properties with majestic mountain, coastal, or desert views. 

 

This two-story cabin boasts tongue and groove siding, a trapezoid-style wall of windows, and parallel chord roof trusses to achieve its distinct contemporary appearance. Depending on your style and preferences, you can swap any standard options with one of our enticing upgrades, like our new Millboard wood-free composite siding option, to create your dream cabin design!

Designing a Contemporary Rustic Space

If you frequent Pinterest, chances are high you’ve come across a number of boards dedicated to farmhouse décor and timber frame interiors. Best described as contemporary rustic, this design style is one of the biggest interior design trends to explode in the last decade as part of a growing obsession with barn-style residences. While rustic is a broad term that encompasses many different design styles, the idea behind contemporary rustic design is to integrate nature-inspired elements in modern spaces to create a warm and welcoming environment. This can be anything from adding a stone fireplace to your living space to simply investing in rustic wood furniture. If you’re seeking contemporary rustic inspiration for your barn home, here are some ways you can pull off Pinterest-worthy interiors that evoke a sense of countryside bliss.

Make Your Home Feel Like a Renovated Barn with Repurposed Wood

As sustainable design becomes more of a necessity than a luxury, more people are incorporating repurposed materials in their home in an attempt to curb their carbon footprint and minimize waste. While this can take the form of anything from reclaimed stained glass to antique brick, one of the best and most popular materials that our clients choose to include in their barn home design is repurposed wood. Aside from being an eco-friendly building material, reclaimed wood is beloved by a majority of Americans because it brings a sense of history and natural beauty to any modern living space. Although there’s no limit to what you can do with reclaimed wood in your barn home, our clients typically use this material for accent walls in their living areas or as barn-style doors, cabinets, and shelves. When paired with modern light fixtures and neutral color schemes, reclaimed wood accents make unforgettable focal points that are certain to make your home feel cozy and luxurious.

 

Use Natural or Neutral Color Schemes

When planning the design of your barn, it’s important to think about what will best complement the heavy timbers in your living space. One of the easiest ways to highlight the beauty of these exposed beams is by using a natural or neutral color scheme throughout the interior. Many of our clients achieve this effect by using an off-white, cream-colored paint, but you can also use warm browns, greens, or grays. Essentially, a warm color scheme that looks and feels earthy is a perfect addition to any rustic-inspired space.

Style Your Walls with Shiplap Siding

Traditionally used as exterior siding, shiplap siding is a style of wood siding made from long planks that are horizontally mounted with small gaps between them. In recent years, shiplap siding has been appearing in more and more homes across the country, with millions of homeowners using this type of wood siding as beautiful wall accents in their living areas. Though the most popular form of utilizing shiplap siding as a wall accent is to paint it white for a beachy coastal look, many clients like to use barnwood-style shiplap siding to complement their exposed beam ceilings. This stylish wall accent adds a rustic, yet elegant touch to our barn homes and makes for an eye-catching design element in any living area.

Add Animal Decor for an Outdoorsy Effect

Contemporary rustic design is all about bringing elements from the outside and incorporating them into modern interiors, whether that be rustic wood accents, plants, or even animal décor. One of the biggest trends that we’ve seen in a number of our clients’ homes is the use of custom chandeliers made from deer antlers. This feature makes a wonderful centerpiece in living and dining rooms, while also drawing attention to the gorgeous heavy timber beams in our barn homes. Some of our clients have also incorporated antler wall accents and tasteful taxidermy in their homes to accentuate the natural look of their space. Depending on your vision, you have the option of using faux antler chandeliers and animal-inspired design elements to achieve this same effect in your home.
