they refer to creating this space in relationship with nature—creating different purposes that don’t obstruct from what is naturally happening on site. why wouldn’t you want to embrace such a beautiful view like that?

The building itself seems so very well made and executed, there are small details here and there and given it’s location, I think it works well as what it was designed for… just because you have a large wooded area that doesn’t mean you MUST integrate, this house certainly is iconoclastic in a very good way, IMHO.

Slick urban loft living in the middle of Oregon? Inappropriate given the context.

Every building is an unnatural intrusion into nature, some more starkly apparent than others. To claim a building planted into wild nature like this to any degree ‘engages’ its surroundings is to form an excuse for claiming the spot and forever changing it.

This one intrudes into wild nature without pretense of being part of it; it exists, it takes up no more space than is necessary and performs its function efficiently.

If it has to be there, or, rather, since it has to be there, I appreciate that the owners and designer (or designers) put their focus into what is tangible, making it work well, mindful to take no more from nature (both from the site and elsewhere) than is required.

I’ve seen this office show up in a couple other places lately and while I think this house is incredibly clean and well detailed, it is not as layered and imaginative as their other projects I’ve seen. In any case, this is a well crafted house from a group worth keeping an eye on.
