The magic of this home is its location on the eastern slope of Spencer’s Butte near Eugene, Oregon. The design team specifically sited the home to capture views of the Three Sisters and Mt. Jefferson of the Cascade Range, soaring in the distance over Camas Swale Valley below. The location presented challenges equal to its sensational views. The steep slope threatened to make any structure feel precariously perched on a hillside. However, because former logging activity had already significantly disturbed the landscape, we were able to sculpt the earth in order to form one large, level area for the entire home complex.
