hilltop custom residence - gates, oregon

Under permit review Spring 2021 - Our client came to us due to devastating circumstances; their home had been destroyed in the 2020 wildfires. But out of the ashes, they saw this as an opportunity to build the perfect forever home. The task for EMA was to create a unique structure that blended their eclectic styles and took advantage of their hilltop location and views. The shape evolved from the design of three interlocking diamonds, creating sweeping vaulted ceilings and incorporating floor to ceiling windows.

Fun Fact: The shape actually extends out over both sides of the ridge, requiring a bridge-building team to come drive the piles to support either end.
