This custom 5,500 square foot home in Salem, Oregon is built to last
using time-tested materials, including metal, natural stone, and a
concrete tile roof. The owners requested that we design the home to
reflect to its sloping site.At the back of the house, windows stretch to take in views of Mt. Hood, and the home itself takes on cathedral-like proportions.In the great room, we expressed the structure of the home by using the
exterior stone material, gauged quartzite, to clad the monumental fire
place. We provided a lit cove in the fire place to display our clients'
art glass collection, and chose a palette of colors for the room that
would harmonize with their collection.
