This is Whitten House, Green House Design in sits on a remote 10 acre site comprised of Sage & Juniper trees in Central Oregon. Conceived as two simple cubes in the landscape, one box for sleeping and one for living, the structure offers two distinct means of interaction with the landscape. The sleeping box is low & burrowed into earth, while the living box floats above, hovering just at treetop level. East & South orientations are exploited for views as well as passive solar orientation of the home. For further detail visit PIQUE site.

Each is three-bedroom with two master suites, and is equipped with a two-car garage. To the north, south and west, the rooftop decks capture views of the Puget Sound, Seattle cityscape and the beach community below.

This is Napa Residence in Hills Above Napa Valley. The house was designed by Turbull Griffin Haesloop Architects. According to the designer : This 2500 square foot house perches on a steeply sloped site surrounded by oak trees with views to the valley beyond. The tall uphill façade of the house and the adjacent bermed garages form an entry courtyard to the residence. Beyond the mostly solid courtyard wall, the house unfolds and projects out over the slope: the roof plane fans open to follow the crenellations of a window wall that fills the interior spaces with daylight and steps outward to frame dramatic views. The living room opens onto a cantilevered deck, built around a mature oak tree that offers shade and filtered light.
