Scott | Edwards Architecture Lone Feather Residence
Description
Lone Feather Residence is nestled at the top of a gentle hillside on a working vineyard. The house is sited to rest among mature conifer trees and positioned to maximize views of Oregon wine country’s rolling hills and verdant forests, and its post-and-beam structure is expressed in a deliberately minimal way so as not to detract from the landscape. A restrained material palette and intentional flow between indoor and outdoor spaces create a timeless, comfortable place where daily life is immersed in nature and small moments invite pause. Achievements 2024 Gold Nugget Award, Award of Merit Scott Edwards Architecture’s approach to the Lone Feather Residence is informed by the landscape and the desired lifestyle of the clients as they enter a new chapter. The clients are a couple who moved from the Midwest to the Willamette Valley to pursue their passion for making wine. They envisioned a quiet, subtle home for themselves surrounded by their vines and connected with this pursuit and place that they love. Arriving at the house is a series of unveilings. The driveway is tucked above a linear outbuilding that houses the garage and a guest studio on separate ends, split by a portal-like pass-through that leads to the main residence further down the slope. Stepping down a series of concrete stairs through the pass-through, the path opens to a courtyard and garden between the two buildings. Ahead, the glassy front entry of the home offers those approaching a hint of what is to come. Upon entering, one is greeted by an expansive view of the vineyards, forests, and wine country beyond. The house’s form is simple—a long, linear volume oriented to maximize the view. Structural elements are left uncovered, demonstrating clarity and strength, and the restrained material palette of glass, wood, concrete, and steel serves as a timeless backdrop.
