THE SOLACE AT MAZAMA

Working on this project in an area with a steep slope and densely forested plot presented many challenges.

Most homes built into hillside disrupt their surrounding area. Keeping a sustainable future for the site in mind, I decided to integrate a lowimpact house. A house that would respond to the slope while preserving the natural features of the environment, allowing it to feel as if the home is part of it.

SITE PLAN

“

I propose a house with futuristic direction,

a home that is site conscious and likewise responsive.

Solace at MAZAMA

IDEA DEVELOPMENT

The vast, open wilderness provided a design process that focused on the house as an object. Essentially, the house becomes a sculpture with a singular expansion, enlivened by the light. By allowing the nature to still be an integral part of the structure, the home then becomes a composition of nature and residence.

Just like birds make their nests from what is around them, the Solace is composed of materials available within the local area. In addition to using wood from the site, and re-purpose local steel, other materials are also locally sourced. The interior spaces flow freely from one to other.

The furnishing is kept minimal and clean with the focus on of the house as the space, not the things inside. The interior wall is kept unfinished, contrasting with the modern looking kitchen and industrial like bedroom loft.

WALL SECTION

My intention is to strengthen the connection between man and environment by bringing forth the best components of each. Both form and function of the residence rhyme with the landscape. Essentially, the house maintains a necessary parallel relationship to the site slope and extraordinary panorama.
