Alpine House
Firm
What began
as a three-story, 1000 sq. ft. tower, developed into a unique blend of wood and
glass that shelters the family and provides extensive views. The house was virtually gutted on the first
and second floors, and an entirely new plan of 1900 sq. ft. was created to
accommodate the owners’ living patterns and embrace the sunlight and natural
beauty of the site. The design
intentionally fuses the existing and new structures together in a complementary
collection of building forms, spaces, and materials.
Even during
the gray, wet winters of Oregon, the home’s orientation and extensive windows
allow the building to capture enough solar energy to heat the house for most of
the day, and virtually eliminates the need for electric lighting during the
daytime. Openings in the living room
wall and in the stairwell allow heat to move vertically throughout the home.
The
exquisite craftsmanship by the owner, who was trained as a boat builder, became
an essential component of the beauty of the finished product. Natural materials were used throughout the
home, including the slate entry floor, cork kitchen floor, and maple panels
finishing out the living room and loft.
