This weekend retreat in Oregon technically doesn't cantilever like the previous examples, but the dramatic overhang of the second story volume makes it feel like it belongs. The Hood River site necessitates, like the two houses before this one, treading lightly. All living spaces are lifted up, with a service core in concrete and a deck under part of the projecting volume.

This last house returns to the location of the first, the Hood River Valley. This retreat is much more modest, and it really tries to minimize its footprint by lifting itself above the landscape. It's evident that natural beauty is something cherished in and around Portland and other parts of the state, extending from urban plans to the floor plans of houses.More regional modern architecture:Chicago | Boston | Austin | NYC | NY Metro | Seattle | No. Calif. | San Francisco | L.A. | Coastal L.A.
Materials and colors that blend with rather than contrast the landscape are used here. The result is an adaptation of the International style that's less rationally machined and more romantic and natural.
