Tucked on the flanks of Bald Mountain above the village of White Salmon, Washington, the Bald Mountain Residence is an artist’s retreat boasting awe-inspiring views. The site’s steep hillside allowed an architectural approach that nestles the residence’s two structures into the landscape and positions interior spaces to overlook the Columbia River Gorge and Mt. Hood beyond. The home’s restrained design and timeless materiality deliberately integrate with the surrounding natural environment, and the interiors are quiet and refined, a comfortable and well-considered setting for daily life. Elements such as a lap pool, a sheltered outdoor courtyard, and two art studios respond to Scott Edwards Architecture’s clients’ vision for their home and support their active, indoor-outdoor lifestyle.
