Unparalleled & even more stunning in person. The AIA Award-winning design by Chris Brown of Observation Studio is an architectural marvel built to serve as a sophisticated work/create-from-home campus that could easily function as two separate residences. United by a shared roof and material palette,the house and studio frame a courtyard with views of the St. Johns Bridge, Willamette River, & West Hills. The location was selected for the duality it offers:complete seclusion immersed in nature with breathtaking views combined with a true connection to the St. Johns neighborhood where you can enjoy the ability to stroll the main street for a coffee, glass of wine, or even a movie. The Gradient House was a serendipitous collaboration between the designer-owners, architect, and builder that boasts high-quality materials including metal tile roofs, concrete countertops, and custom metalwork, maintaining the owners' product designer sensibilities in mind throughout. The interiors use maple paneling and hidden cabinets to emphasize the essential elements of materiality, fine detailing, and durability to the spaces while minimizing clutter and distraction. The eye-catching and iconic, large glazed monitors are utilized throughout to bring in natural light. The landscape design seamlessly blends into the natural space of the Baltimore woods below, while also creating intentional, functional outdoor rooms. Concrete courts & planters filter rainwater before returning it back to the landscape and are filled with dramatic yet low-maintenance plantings that respond to each season of the year.LOW taxes. HES 8/10 Honor Award: AIA Oregon 2023, Honor Award: Residential Design Magazine, Honor Award: Fay Jones School of Architecture Alumni Awards & featured in many publications. Awe inspiring to all who visit. Multi-faceted; frequently rented for photoshoots & events, it stands as a truly unique and outstanding contribution to Portland Architecture. [Home Energy Score = 8.
