Hotchkiss Residence by Scott Edwards Architects

The Hotchkiss Residence is a result of modular home which had outlived its lifespan in Vancouver. The aim is a “simple living” space. This contemporary house is nestled on the banks of the Columbia River and responds to amazing views of the river and Mt. Hood beyond. The vernacular wood structure shields the home from 9 months of rain, and captures winter sunlight. The single slope roof originates over the bedroom and rises to its zenith above the living room. The roof also cantilevers over the southern facing deck, creating a space that is enjoyed and utilized year round by the owners. However, during the winter, sun light penetrates deep into the living room and passively heats the exposed concrete floors.

compact house design by Scott Edwards Architects

With a budget of $550k, the design is; restrained by simplicity, emphases its structural system, compact for an aging client, and built to respond to the quick changing Northwest weather. The home linked by bridges to the owners daughters and sons homes, which sit adjacent, completes the family compound.
