21-034 Bend Hideaway
Looking for ample space for their family and two dogs, our clients imagined a home that supports their active lifestyle – specifically accommodating a lap pool and home gym. The responding design reacts delicately to the complex site, shielding occupants from neighbors to the northeast, while opening towards southwestern views as a single-story winged form that elegantly blends into the surrounding forest.
Recent empty nesters looking to relocate from Portland to Bend contacted our team to design an escape fit for their eventual retirement. The home’s private wing stretches to protect an outdoor lap pool and sitting area, acting as a shield from strong winds as well a close by neighboring property. The public wing runs perpendicularly, housing a living, dining, and kitchen area that opens completely onto an outdoor patio and firepit, creating warm outdoor living space for cool Oregon evenings. A protected windowed bridge connects the perpendicular wings, creating a sense of transition and compression between the two forms.
Process and Progress
Our team enjoys making regular visits to Bend to ensure the project is progressing on schedule and at the highest quality possible.
