Skyline Residence, Portland
Design: Nathan Good Architects
Location: Skyline Boulevard, Portland, Oregon, USA
New Residence in Portland

The 1.7 acre site is relatively level and within a mile of downtown Portland. The home was positioned at the far north side of the lot to reduce the impact of noise from the Skyline Boulevard, optimize the daylighting of the sun?s path, and facilitate views from the interior of the home to the yard.

Notable Features: a) A well-appointed contemporary home that is certified green (LEED Platinum)
b) The home is designed for an abundance of natural light in a climate dominated by overcast skies

c) The residence is on the path towards being net-zero-energy in that it is engineered to generate as much solar-electric energy on-site as the home consumes annually.

Owners: The clients are middle-aged with active lives that revolve about their three children. Both parents required a home office. A small home gym reduces travel time to the health club. An acoustically isolated game room accommodates their children and their friends on the lowest level to the home. They actively support the publication of their home yet ask to remain anonymous.

Layout of the Home: 4,200 square feet of conditioned space distributed over three levels, completed in 2012
