Set on top of a forested ridge separating downtown Portland and the suburban sprawl of Beaverton, OR, Wildwood house is a rural retreat and primary residence hidden within the metro area of the Pacific Northwest.
This home is part of a co-housing community in rural Virginia and is located on a steeply sloping site with distant mountain views. This modern farmhouse retreat is a modern interpretation of the traditional white clapboard farmhouse and red barn that populate the neighboring countryside.
This residence is a modern rural retreat, a second home away from the client’s inner city penthouse. Designed to be minimalistic in detail, robust and functional, while maintaining a country charm and strong connection to the rural landscape, each space within the new extension sits in perfect harmony with its surrounds.
The Portola Valley Barn is a dynamic space, separate from an existing main residence, designed for large-scale entertaining as well as relaxation.

The Montville Residence by Sparks Architects is situated on the western edge of a 25 acre property on the Blackall Range near Montville, QLD. A north / south ridge line with commanding views over the property to the north and east and the Baroon Pocket Dam to the west was selected for siting the building.
What seems like a newly-built Scandinavian-inspired wooden house is, in fact, a converted old chicken shed in the southeast of Wales, United Kingdom.
