The Bay House

A Handcrafted Waterfront Dream Home in Willapa Bay, Washington


Perched in the woods above Willapa Bay is the coastal home of Anne & Richard De Wolf. With its broad, arched roof, exposed beams, dark-stained siding and wraparound deck, it feels both unique and right at home on this spot.


“We wanted to use materials from the land. We considered the location, the sun, the hills, the weather. All of it has an impact. All the decisions were weighed against how rough usage and elements would improve the materials over time. Stained siding. Unfinished floor planks. Galvanized roof. Even the overhang means no gutters to be filled with spruce needles.”
