He has been designing modern architecture in Central Oregon since 1999. Prior to that he received a Master’s degree in Architecture and a Bachelor’s degree in Environmental Design. His academic career led him to studies in Bozeman, Seattle, San Francisco, Barcelona, and Rome. Eric is a native of Bend, Oregon. He is proud of his deep family roots in the Cascadia region. His great grandparents came to the area in the 1800s and helped settle and farm the Klamath Basin. His grandfather was a logger of the great northwestern forests and helped build some of the dams and infrastructure that serve the region to this day. His father was a land surveyor for the USGS who spent his entire career walking, surveying, and studying the lands of the American west and eventually settled his family in Bend. Soon after, he established the now famous Phil’s Trail network of mountain bike trails. Eric has an ingrained appreciation for the land, the climate and the natural beauty of the region. This appreciation guides his approach to creating stunning, light-filled, nature-connected homes. From small simple retreats, to large complex net-zero compounds, Eric has the experience and skill to help guide a client through the process of molding their dreams into physical reality. Along with solo projects, Eric has been a director of PIQUE collaborative since 2003. PIQUE is a group of architects and designers located around the globe who share an enthusiasm for thoughtful, sustainable, beautiful architecture. The group shares design resources and creative energy through collaboration on construction projects, planning efforts and competition submissions. As a member of PIQUE, Eric has been recognized through awards and publications around the world. Eric has collaborated on projects in diverse locations including Oregon, Washington, the northern Rocky Mountains, Lake Tahoe, Palm Desert, northern Europe, Edinburgh and even Rwanda and Angola. When not working to create some of the most unique and beautiful homes in Central Oregon, Eric is likely to be found pedaling his mountain bike along the countless area trails which he helped construct, or perhaps on a far-flung moto tour of Baja or the American Great Basin, always pausing long enough to soak up the incredible splendor of the natural world. ### Services Provided - Architectural Design - Building Design - Architectural Drawings - House Plans - New Home Construction - Sustainable Design - Energy-Efficient Homes - 3D Rendering - Green Building - Space Planning - Site Preparation - Landscape Plans - Custom Homes ### Areas Served - Portland - Bend - Tumalo - Big Sky - Bozeman - Truckee - Willamette Valley ### Typical Job Cost $1 million - 6 million ## Business Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Business Name | Eric Meglasson, Architect | | Address | Bend, Oregon, United States | | Phone | (503) 400-2706 | | Website | http://meglassonarchitect.com/ | | Followers on Houzz | 46 | ## Contact - **Houzz profile:** [Eric Meglasson, Architect](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/architects-and-building-designers/eric-meglasson-architect-pfvwus-pf~2047910358) - **Website:** http://meglassonarchitect.com/ - **Phone:** (503) 400-2706 ## Credentials - **Best of Houzz:** 2 awards (2018–2023), for Design, Service. ## Reviews **Overall rating: 5.0 out of 5 — 3 reviews** ### All 3 reviews **★★★★★ — furnish., May 2017** > Eric is THE go-to modern architect in Central Oregon, and we have enjoyed our many collaborations with him and his clients. Eric's aesthetics and attention to detail in all his projects are second to none, and his houses are recognized around town for their distinct style- while always blending in to the surroundings seamlessly! If you are about to design a new home, or renovate an old one, I could not recommend Eric highly enough! **★★★★★ — CS Construction, May 2017** > We have had the pleasure of working with Eric on many projects over the past several years. He's a very talented designer and a fantastic people person. Every house we've done together was meticulously thought out and designed and the construction documents well executed to make the building process an enjoyable experience. Being an excellent communicator Eric also excels at establishing and maintain strong client and colleague relationships. If you desire extraordinary design skills and a professional you'll enjoy working with, we highly recommend Eric. We look forward to many more projects together. **★★★★★ — bendhome1135, May 2017** > Eric Meglasson Architecture goes beyond the current limits of best practice. Eric finely balances interior and exterior expression to their environment and to the client. To inform his decisions, Eric considers the impact of the sun on the site, orientation, spacial arrangement, window placement, passive design strategies, and daylight access. Beautiful, playful, innovative, light-filled homes that cleverly maximize privacy, frame landscapes, and interconnect spaces define Eric Meglasson Architecture. Eric’s attention, intelligent response, sensitivity to the site and to the occupant, made me feel more like a design partner than a client. ## Selected projects - [Birdsong](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/birdsong-pj-vj~2475504) - Location: Bend, OR - Photos: 9 - [The Noble House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/the-noble-house-pj-vj~2476130) - Location: Bend, OR - Photos: 8 - [Strauch-Haus](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/strauch-haus-pj-vj~2476150) - Location: Bend, OR - Photos: 6 - Description: A low slung modern home on the edge of a prairie in the High Desert of Central Oregon.
