Gracehaus

Philip Sydnor / Integrate, PC

Gracehaus sits on a narrow six acres of forested property outside downtown Portland. The one-story house is designed on an East-West axis providing northern exposure and views of the property from every window. The unusual massing is emphasized by the individual roofs, circulation "knuckles," and a central hallway connecting the different living spaces and forming a central courtyard at the back of the house. Materials and features include core-ten steel cladding, exposed glu-lam posts and beams, bamboo and cork flooring, gutterless-eaves and a French drain system, wind-fallen and locally harvested timber, and eco-friendly carpets, paint and stain.
