PROJECT 2
EcoNest Architecture
River Retreat, Oregon
Status: In Construction
The goal for this vacation home was to be mold free, toxic free, and maintenance free. Our clients wanted the design and material choices to require a minimal level of maintenance so they could return each vacation and just enjoy the retreat. Single pitched roofs with dedicated rain cathcment basins, Parklex resin boards and Cembrit concrete panels require no finishing and minimal maintenance. Faswall construction with external rainscreen assures no trapped moisture and mold in the damp Oregon climate. Views and indoor/outdoor gathering spaces are focused on the river. A private courtyard with outdoor shower and access to sauna in the garage provide a cool, shaded, and tranquil summer respite.
