We had the opportunity to develop a rare vacant lot in SE Portland creating a custom single family residence on the property with an ADU and a tiny home pad. The site is very narrow and has a 15' grade change making it even more unique. The design team used this to our advantage to frame views of the wooded neighborhood. Making you feel secluded while being in the city. We carved or pulled into the mass of the house to create exterior space connected to each primary space of the house (living room, kitchen, primary bedroom and secondary bedroom. We used locally sourced materials throughout the structure to give it a local vernacular aesthetic.
