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 owner’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.
What We Love: This contemporary home in Oregon offers a fantastic indoor-outdoor experience thanks to expansive walls of glazing. Minimal design helps to focus attention on the views while providing a low-maintenance lifestyle. We are especially loving the expansive porch with its outdoor fireplace, comfortable furnishings, and unforgettable views — the ultimate outdoor entertaining space.
