Oregon Home | 39 This balance of keeping the home intimately connected to the Pacific Ocean while maintaining long-term survivability proved to be both the project’s greatest challenge and triumph. But perhaps the most important element that contributed to the project’s success was partnership. “This home was truly the result of incredible collaboration,” Capri says. Homeowners Dan and Christina were deeply involved throughout the process, working closely with the architectural, construction, interior design, and landscape teams. Landscape designer Katie Shluka of Coyote Gardens completed the holistic vision, ensuring the exterior spaces feel equally grounded in the environment. Inside, the home’s coastal modern aesthetic features materials and finishes chosen to echo the landscape rather than overshadow it. The kitchen and living areas carry a distinctly light and bright coastal sensibility that is elegant yet relaxed. These spaces are elevated by thoughtful interior selections by the homeowners, whose vision and aesthetic goals for their new home informed the collaborative spirit that guided the project from start to finish. At its heart, the Ghost Forest House is more than a beautiful coastal home—it is an experience. A place where modern design meets ancient landscape and where thoughtful architecture allows nature to take center stage. “When you sit in the house, you feel like you’re sitting directly on the beach,” Capri says.
