Concrete House with Steel Tower Like a “Treehouse” | Analog House

ByMyProperty Life

Designed in collaboration with the renowned architecture studio Olson Kundig Architects along with Faulkner Architects, this house, constructed with concrete, steel, and glass, incorporates contemporary elements with minimal disruption to the surrounding natural environment, where the majestic ponderosa pines, manzanita, and exposed basalt stand out. The house features a series of fluid and interconnected spaces that open up to stunning views and allow for continuous connection with the surroundings. From the impressive steel cladding of the tower to meticulously designed details such as clerestory windows and the outdoor fireplace convertible into an Argentinian grill, the Analog House is an expression of contemporary elegance.

  • Music Box Residence

    The Music Box Residence was designed around the intimate and communal qualities of music and family. The steep lot, with views towards Mt. St. Helens and Mt. Rainier dictated a multi-level structure. On the lowest level, surrounded by concrete walls, resides the timpani rehearsal room. The husband, a member of the Oregon Symphony, required space and acoustic separation for practice. On the main level sits the piano studio where the wife’s students come to learn and play. Her studio opens onto the main living room and covered outdoor living area for recitals and parties. The upper level houses the couple’s children, parents, and guests. Continue up and an electronic roof hatch pivots open, revealing a rooftop deck, complete with commanding views of forest park, the city and mountains beyond. The “U” shaped plan has large volumes on both sides with a glassy two-story entry space in the middle. A long bridge, with a bamboo forest below, leads from the sidewalk to the main entry. The exterior, clad in black stained siding; reminiscent of “shosugi ban,” or charred wood, pays homage to their Japanese ancestry.
