A sneak peek of our Hood River residence from a site visit last month. It’s hard to believe that just a couple of years ago this project was little more than an excavation site and a set of drawings.
From the beginning, the goal for the design was to foreground the intense vistas, mercurial weather patterns, and unmatched drama of the Columbia River Gorge as part of everyday living. Standing at the grand floor-to-ceiling windows, it was deeply rewarding to experience the house in the midst of weather that might otherwise be considered gray or unremarkable, but which here only heightened the raw beauty of the landscape and the building’s connection to it.
One of the most gratifying moments in a project’s lifespan is walking through it with the people who helped bring it to life: the client who initiates the vision and ultimately inhabits the space; the general contractor and tradespeople who translate design intent into built form; and the consultants whose specialized expertise helps resolve challenges both visible and unseen.
Much appreciation and admiration goes to , .scott, and the entire team at . Their dedication and craftsmanship have been instrumental in navigating every challenge and bringing this extraordinary project to life.
Looking forward to sharing more soon.
