From a forested bench with expansive views to Oregon's Deschutes River, this home connects to the site with an exterior of clear Cedar and muted, earth tone metal. Oriented to capture winter sunlight, extensive glazing blurs the line between indoor and outdoor space. From the uphill entry area several steps lead down to the home's main level living and guest areas that, at several locations, are more than three feet below natural grade. The result being a home that becomes part of the landscape - a natural extension of the site. Spatially, the focus is on quality not quantity. This 2900 square foot home provides the owner's family a sense of space done right with rooms well proportioned for their intended use. Clear Cedar outside and clear Fir in, the Hewitt + Fox home lives like a well crafted piece of fine furniture.
