North Rim - Wild Rye

This home was designed around two defining site characteristics; 1. Mountain views and 2. Sunlight. The dramatic mountain and golf course views are to the west, which meant most windows would face that direction. These windows capture the mountain views from literally every room, on both levels. Central Oregon has great morning sunlight, which meant creating ways to gather the eastern sun as well. This was accomplished using the predominant shed roof configuration, which allowed placing high clerestory windows in many eastern walls. These windows let in the earliest morning sun, and the entry, stairway and kitchen windows gather this light as well. This home is light and bright all day long.
