Eagle Rock Retreat

The Eagle Rock
Retreat is a vacation home for a trio of siblings, and is located on the
property where they went on family vacations in their youth. The property is
located along the north bank of the McKenzieRiver and features
old-growth trees and a breathtaking view of Eagle Rock, a basalt column rock
formation at the river?s edge.
The new design
features three "pods" with living spaces and a fourth building for
the garage. The three pods are oriented toward the south in order to capture
the view to the river and Eagle Rock and to maximize daylight exposure on the
heavily-wooded site. The living spaces open onto large exterior decks that are
perfect for relaxation and also serve as the primary means of circulation from
one pod to the next.
The interior
spaces are divided into "dry" and "wet" zones. The
"dry" living spaces (bedrooms, living room, dining room) float above
the landscape on pier foundations, anchored along the north side by masonry
walls that contain the "wet" spaces (bathrooms, kitchen). The
"dry" spaces utilize wood frame construction and are clad in wood
panel and batten siding, giving them a sense of lightness as the landscape
flows between and around the concrete piers that support them. The
"wet" spaces are constructed of ground-face concrete block and feel
very solid and heavy as the masonry penetrates into the ground, alluding to the
weathered rock formation across the river.
Eagle Rock
Retreat was designed with many sustainable features. Two cisterns harvest
rainwater that is used to flush toilets. The buildings face south to maximize
daylighting and passive heating in the winter. All the spaces have radiant
floor heat, and there is no HVAC cooling system. Instead, the spaces rely on a
series of windows, which, when opened, cool the spaces in summer by venting hot
air out of the building.
Though the home is
located in a forest, its location was chosen to minimize the number of existing
trees that needed to be cut down. The old house on the property was in poor
condition and needed to be removed. However, the roof beams from that structure
are re-used in the new home. In addition, all the appliances were donated to a
family whose home burned down.
