GORGE HIGH STYLE
MODERN ARCHITECURE is rare in the Gorge. “The House of Views” designed by Brian Conaway the owner /builder, sits high on the bluff on Serpentine overlooking Hood River, the Columbia River and the bluffs of Washington. Conaway enjoys designing and building homes different than any others in the area featuring spectacular views and exciting, thoughtful designs
Every detail is consistent with modern architecture. The front of the house facing the street has a wide entry of stamped concrete flanked by double garages on both sides with aluminum doors with insets of polycarbonate that glow like rice paper when lights are on inside. When Conaway was asked how the grand open-air entry was designed he replied “The design is a unique blend of materials and geometry with three curved glue lams all lading at the same width, but each one having a different radius, and making a direct attachment to the shed style roof. Natural light enters the breezeway due to twin wall bronze polycarbonate cover the arch.” Rounded glass block corners have a green glow enhancing the green stucco and curved corners of glass block. Walking to the front door opening in a rock wall alerts the senses of contemporary surprises inside as a long rectangular window shows the kitchen at counter level.
Once the front door opens “WOW!” is the only way to describe full glass windows extending from floor to ceiling the entire 64 feet in length of the main floor at the top of three levels.
Wide decks with overhangs angling to the sky and cable railings extend ones sense of space. Soft north light pours into the space highlighting rich bold colors perfectly matched with custom lighting.
The kitchen is a wall of toast brown eucalyptus cabinets with frosted glass and aluminum trim below black paper stone counters highlighted with the south wall covered in 1 inch shiny glass tiles in shades of teal and turquoise.
Stainless steel appliances are placed for two cooks with two stovetops, two dishwashers and two sinks. The island with a bar counter on one side is supported with glass blocks with lights for a nightglow.
Downstairs ones eye endeavors to take in the elegant curved 8-foot wide hallway spanning the 54 feet in length of the house. High ceilings and natural woven grass wall covering with art glass sconces enhance the space.
The theatre with red suede sofas and a velvet-tufted door is a fun surprise. The library is flooded with north and west light with maple bookshelves, bamboo floor, a fireplace and large sliding doors that open to the deck bringing in Gorge breezes.
The gym, laundry room, mechanical rooms and huge storage spaces are on the lower floor. The last of three levels of wide decks with cable railing opens to each of the rooms.
The master suite on the main floor is spacious with one of the four fireplaces with Venetian plaster finish and custom glass mantle.
Glass sinks, travertine shower with multiple showerheads, jetted tub and closets with frosted glass door panels blend with contemporary style.
Three bedrooms with private baths open along the curved hall.
Unusual, fun, elegant are just a few of the ways to describe this house that will make a statement in Hood River for years to come. This property is for sale with RE/MAX Results for $2.1 million. Gorge High Style at its best!
