Hood River Residence by Scott | Edwards Architecture

Scott | Edwards Architecture has completed the Hood River Residence – a beautiful contemporary retreat nestled within the Hood River Valley in Oregon. It is placed on the very border of the forest, gaining access to breathtaking views of Mount Adams to the north.
This 3,500 square foot home is divided into two distinct volumes where one serves as the main residence while the other one has areas for guests.

Located on the northern slope of an extinct volcano, the Hood River Residence rests at the transition between the agricultural valley and the forested hillside of Hood River Valley. The site was the main driver for design decisions; from the concrete wall that tucks the home into the hillside, protecting it from the harsh wind, rain, and winter snow coming from the south; to the transparent northern facade facing Mt. Adams and the valley below.

The home is designed to shelter from the extremes of the local climate while taking full advantage of the site’s most attractive feature—mountain and orchard views. The form of the home is a long, simple bar split into two volumes under one rectilinear roof form.

The concrete wall anchors the interior and exterior of the home to the landscape and filters the dramatic views to the north. The roof sheds to the south, protecting the home and outdoor spaces from the elements while opening up to the views and north light.

The largest volume of the house contains the main living area with bedrooms, kitchen, and gathering spaces. The second, smaller volume contains a guest suite, and both spaces open onto a generous outdoor deck, inviting the entertaining spaces of the home out into the landscape. Circulation is organized along the concrete wall to the south, giving every public and private area a view to the valley below and mountains beyond.

These Benches Provide More Than Just a Place to Sit

Short, long, wooden, metal, upholstered or padded — benches come in an endless array of styles and materials. It’s a good thing too because a stylish bench can add a bit of flair and a lot of convenience to any room in the house. Historical sources say that benches were a common type of simple seat in the era when only the most important people actually got to sit in a chair. Today, this humble piece of furniture has evolved from a second-class seat to a very functional element that can also be very stylish. Without a doubt, there’s a bench that fits the decor and size of your room, so check out these beautiful options.

Streamlined Bedroom Decor Ideas to Make Every Night Restful

Let’s face it: You spend more time in your bedroom than any other room in the house. And, even though few people will probably see it, the master bedroom really does have to be comfortable and welcoming so that it’s a pleasant place to spend all those hours. It’s such a personal area that it should reflect your personality while being stylish and well organized because it can be very difficult to rest in a roomful of disorganized clutter. Obviously, the main focus of the space has to be the bed, but aside from storage for your clothing, the only other furnishings you definitely need in the bedroom are some sort of bedside tables or nightstands. Any other pieces you add, such as a chair, bench or other seating, will be driven by the size of the space. Here are some fresh master bedroom decor ideas that are streamlined and make the perfect starting point for creating a restful haven.
