Shelter House

Shelter House, designed by JHL Design, is situated on the edge of the Pacific Ocean. The brief focused on creating a custom residence that responds to its dramatic coastal site, with the architecture remaining secondary to the landscape. Long-time clients engaged the architects to handle the design at every scale, from the building’s form to its smallest interior details. The home is defined by an origami-influenced roofline that rises and falls, echoing the profile of the Northern Oregon Coast Range visible nearby. Warm, earthy interior finishes, developed in collaboration with RESIDENTIAL Custom Homes Interiors, provide a counterbalance to the sweeping ocean views. Every decision was guided by a careful interplay between solid form and the outward-looking atmosphere the site commands.
