A beautiful Oregon home offers breathtaking views over Hood River Valley

contemporary-home-exterior

This contemporary home was designed by Scott Edwards Architecture, located on the northern slope of Booth Hill, in the Hood River County, Oregon. Mindfully sited perpendicular to the hillside of an extinct volcano, this dwelling artfully rests at the transition point between the agricultural valley and the forested hillside.

Responding to the ownerโ€™s desire that all the rooms both public and private take full advantage of the view, the design of this 3,500 square foot residence became a long simple bar split into two volumes under one roof. Continue below to see the rest of this home…

A concrete wall connects the house to the landscape while acting as both filter and backdrop for the view to the north out over the patchwork of orchards, vineyards, and farmsteads making up the Hood River Valley. The two volumes of the house open onto a generous outdoor living space collecting all the public spaces into one large indoor-outdoor space during the warmer months.

Too much wood. Like living inside an oversized pergola.
They could have left the lofty wood overhangs outside while using limited featured wood surfaces indoors (as if the entire wood ceiling wasn’t enough) which could only compliment wall and floor surfaces with some actual color.

Beautiful location and design but knowing and loving Oregon, there is too much concrete for the wet and cold weather. Great summer place but lacks warmth and a cozy welcoming for rest of year.
