This 2,800 SF home is located in Bend, Oregon with big views of the Cascade Mountains to the Northwest. The home was designed for an active couple who were retiring to pursue their love of the outdoors. The architect worked with the homeowner, who is an interior designer, to create a northwest contemporary home that would be comfortable, modern, easy to maintain and complement their active lifestyle. The three bedroom home allows the owners to live entirely on the main floor with guest quarters on the upper level. The home wraps around an outdoor courtyard which acts as an outdoor room and is heavily used in the warm summer months.
