A wall of doors between the patio and living room dissolves the division between indoor and outdoor space.

Updated modern kitchen look. The luxury feel is provided by subtle colors and a soft wood finish. Custom bronze hardware provides a simple yet sophisticated look. The slat paneling on the island provides a nice touch and dissolves the flatness of the modern look.

A low-slung, single-story home stretched beneath a canopy of mature oaks, wrapped in dark wood siding with a deep cantilevered roofline.

The Red Hills Residence is nestled into the hills of Oregon wine country, offering a contemporary interpretation of the traditional farmhouse vernacular. Scott Edwards Architecture’s design is an invitation to slow the pace of life. The formal entry court leads through layers of landscaping and small yards to the house which, moving through, gradually dissolves into unobstructed views of the forested ridge and vineyards beyond.
