nice entrance! I would like to see a shot of underneath the house, is it a patio area as shown in the plan?? This is where the house could really engage its surroundings because the living area seems detached from the surround nature

Simple and beautiful. It looks very reasonable to build and the shipping container look does’nt bother me at all.

I wasnt commenting on its minimal environmental impact or what the needs of the client were…I am sure both were just in the design of the building. I was just commenting on the use of materials of the structure and the overall design of the building, and that it looked to be more fitting in an urban or suburban setting. It visually looks odd in this location, though nothing wrong with its environmental impact.

I am delighted bye the simple, modern and functional design of this house. Do you have the cost of building it?

[...] “The Neal Creek residence treads lightly upon its surroundings, maximizing valley and water views with minimal impact to the natural environment. The owners – windsurfing and snowboarding enthusiasts – were interested in a modest weekend retreat that would be highly efficient and ecologically minded…” (archdaily) [...]

it definitely is very shipping container design going on for it. The site location and the design of the building seem to be at odds with each other. Though it would be interesting to see this idea being applied to a more populated setting such as someplace urban or suburban.

Though on a plus side, good to see architecture near to the Portland metro that I live in being shown in here.

I like it. The proportions look similar to a single-wide (which is practical) but it’s well designed and has a timeless feel to it.

It appears the house was designed for two couples… oh well… why not… Spare beds in the hall adjacent to master bedrooms (for unexpected guests I guess) seem to be a kind of misunderstanding but… well… if this is what residents want – why not? So, apart from rather unpleasant contrast of the building form and colour with its surroundings (resembles an abandoned shipping container) and a pitch dark bathroom that could have a nice window, there is nothing wrong with this building :)
