About This Project

Rising Eagle is a masterful embodiment of ecological design, seamlessly integrating a contemporary home into the picturesque hillside of the Methow Valley, Washington. This innovative project takes full advantage of the natural topography, skillfully berming the structure into the hillside. This approach not only minimizes the visual impact of the house within the landscape but also utilizes the thermal properties of the earth, contributing to energy efficiency and comfort throughout the seasons. The design features high transom windows along the southern facade, strategically positioned to maximize passive solar gain and flood the living spaces with natural light. The warmth of sunlight enhances the interior ambiance, creating an inviting atmosphere in the living room, where residents can enjoy both warmth and brightness. Meanwhile, the northern side of the home opens up to breathtaking valley views, framed by 12-inch thick double stud walls that provide exceptional insulation. This construction choice, combined with triple-pane windows, ensures that the home remains energy-efficient while offering unobstructed vistas of the stunning landscape. A key architectural highlight of the Rising Eagle is its rounded north wall, which not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of the home but also allows for a panoramic 180-degree view of the valley below. This design choice invites the beauty of the outdoors into the daily living experience, creating a harmonious connection between the interior and the surrounding environment. The craftsmanship throughout the project reflects a commitment to quality and sustainability, with carefully selected materials that align with the ecological ethos of the home. The outcome is a distinctive residence that exemplifies thoughtful design, where every aspect—from the layout to the materials used—serves both functionality and beauty. Rising Eagle stands as a testament to modern ecological living, offering a tranquil retreat that respects and enhances its natural surroundings.
