A coastal retreat in Oregon defined by wind, cedar, and ocean horizon.
Positioned atop a rugged cliff, Pacific Crest House is articulated as two linear volumes bridged by glass. Weathered cedar siding allows the structure to blend into coastal vegetation.
Water features cool the air through evaporative effect, while shaded loggias extend living spaces outward.
Interior spaces are arranged to capture the shifting Pacific light, from fog-laden mornings to golden sunsets.
The architecture acts as a windbreak and viewing instrument simultaneously.
Strategic courtyards shield outdoor terraces.
Cedar cladding silvers over time.
Primary living axis follows the coastline.
