Shevlin Commons Modern Home

This 3,400 sf home on a corner lot overlooking Shevlin Park with views of the Cascade mountains, from Mt Jefferson to Mt Bachelor. Orientation was determined to maximize views, privacy, and light; and to minimize the appearance of the driveway and garage. The design is comprised of 3 wings, each of which step down with the grade and enclose 3 sides of a SE-facing semi-private courtyard: the main living area, master and garage; kids’ rooms and playroom; and a studio. The courtyard includes a covered dining area, covered walkway to the artist studio, and a play area for the kids. Materials for the exterior of the home include natural wood siding, stone, glass, and standing seam metal on sloped roofs. Hidden on the Garage roof is an array of solar panels.
