The home was designed to celebrate its proximity to the a forested creek bed  passing through Portland's SE neighborhood.. The wood-screened street elevation hides the stairs to an ADU over the garage and acts as a lantern at the end of the street at night. The house footprint bends, re-orienting with the natural edge of the hillside and is punctuated by a cantilevered deck. The house is supported by (23) 4” micropiles due to 30’ of undocumented fill, and is careful not to compromise the hillside and adjacent environmental zone.
