As we’ve seen, modern architecture comes in a variety of shapes, sizes, and concepts. Today we take a look at a unique contemporary structure that blends modern living with a rustic location. This unique design, known as the Hood River House, will have you reevaluating what you thought you wanted in a dream home. The structure is situated between the orchards, vineyards, and an extinct volcano. The home is set among stunning landscapes while providing views of all of them. The home is propped up above the scenery, offering views from every room in the house.
The dwelling comes with a horizontal design that is divided into two structures. Both wings sit below a single roof, while cast concrete walls provide protection from the wind and elements. There is timber framing that adds a rustic warmth to the design, contrasting the contemporary aesthetic seen throughout. The glass facade adds to the home’s modern approach, while also bringing the rustic outdoors inside seamlessly. The north-facing glazing brings in the sweeping vistas for the interior.

However, a central terrace allows for unobstructed views of Mount Adams in the distance. The stunning attention to detail is seen inside and out, boasting ample space for relaxing or entertaining in the process. This home is nothing short of exceptional, a brilliant design in a stunning location. The Hood River House will certainly have you rethinking everything you thought you wanted in your dream home.
