Neal Creek Residence Design Wooden House Decorating

Neal Creek residence designed by Paul McKean Architecture, is a unique wooden house decorating ideas, located in Hood River, Oregon. This home designed with elevating the habitable space one full floor above grade, and a planted roof to reduces heat gain to the interior spaces.

Description from Architect:

This modest weekend retreat in the Hood River treads lightly upon its surroundings, maximizing valley and water views with minimal impact to the natural environment. The owners – windsurfing and snowboarding enthusiasts – were interested in a modest weekend retreat that would be highly efficient and ecologically minded. Their wooded two-acre parcel of land presented many unique challenges including wetlands, creek protection setbacks, and floodplain restrictions. The design solution for the two-bedroom house addresses these issues by elevating the habitable space one full floor above grade.
