Rock Creek Residence

By : Rockefeller Kempel Architects

GRANDS PRIX DU DESIGN – 15th edition

Discipline : Architecture

Categories : Residential Building / Private House > 2 000 pi2 (> 185 m2) : Gold Certification

Born out of the client’s appreciation for a particular architectural style, this Mid-Century modern inspired residence thoughtfully reflects a simplicity of form and intentional connection with nature. Embracing the core value of excellence, it is a place where art and purpose collide to support an active, bi-coastal family. Set into the picturesque backdrop of Oregon’s wine country, the hillside property enjoys scenic views of the Willamette Valley wine country from the edge of a layered grove of Douglas fir trees. Careful consideration was given to the home’s placement on the property, taking full advantage of the dramatic landscape and bringing the outdoors in.

The home is two separate wings, connected by a glass entry volume. A multi-story stair library with reading platforms is at its heart. It embraces the natural surroundings allowing one to feel perched in the surrounding woods of the natural outdoors. The many covered porches afford places to enjoy outdoor living while admiring the breathtaking vistas. Careful attention was given to the architectural details, the combination of materials, and their skillful crafting. The material palette is a selection of locally quarried natural stone and wood. Cedar ceilings, oak floors, a walnut staircase, and bluestone-clad fireplaces and floors create a warm material palette seen throughout the home. Strategically placed clerestories and skylights take full advantage of diffuse natural daylight. They serve particularly well in the often-dreary winter months of the Pacific Northwest to help rejuvenate the soul.

Thoughtful care, rigor, and meticulous attention to detail dictated the design of this Oregon countryside home.
