SITE

Located in the northern canyons of Montana de Oro, the site offers steep terrain that inspired vertical and horizontal intersecting plains. The project gives two experiences: the upper level offers a broader view of the site in the context of Montana de Oro, with the ability to see all the way out to the ocean. The lower level immerses the user in the local environment, linking the immediate surroundings with the larger role it plays in balancing the ecosystem of Montana de Oro.

InclineEcopost

The canopy project lies deep within the southern canyons of Montana de Oro, just below Oats Peak. It is nestled in a grove of Oak trees that surround the user and block views of the surrounding foothills. While the tower functions as a bird-watching station, it’s primary purpose is to provide an experience of a tree, from the ground level, walking up through the layers of branches, and finally emerging at the top of the canopy. Constructed of wood lumber, the tower allows light to permeate through the slats, and uses a natural gap in the trees to limit its environmental impact on the old-growth forest. The form was derived as an abstraction of the basic elements of a tree: trunk, branches, and canopy.

level 1 - cooking / utility level 2 - entertainment

This was a 3 week project for a vacation home on a 25’ x 25’ lot located in a arid southern Oregon. Form was derived from desert creatures to utilize natural techniques for dealing with a hot, arid environment. Some of the sustainable features include an operable north glazing wall between glulam ribs, which facilitate ventilation, as well as high thermal mass on the south walls.
