Ar. Jim Olson shares his labour of love – his personal cabin in Longbranch, Washington that has seen multiple phases of design and construction; and Jim is currently designing the next phase… It began as a 14-foot square bunk house built in 1959 located on Puget Sound and nestled amidst the towering fir trees of an ancient forest in Longbranch, Washington.
