Amazing Design - Wilkinson Residence by Robert Harvey Oshatz


Wilkinson Residence is an example of amazing design and architecture work by Robert Harvey Oshatz.  Imagine yourself, sun rays kissing you through the gaps between bunches of leaves in a forest. What a feeling. You will be more thrilled when that tree house is designed by an architect with a creative use of interior and exterior. Check out this Wilkinson Residence, an amazing tree house by Robert Harvey Oshatz.



By the Architect:

Wilkinson Residence
Portland , Oregon

Designed: 1997
Completed: 2004

Located on a flag lot, a steep sloping grade provided the opportunity to bring the main level of the house into the tree canopy to evoke the feeling of being in a tree house. A lover of music, the client wanted a house that not only became part of the natural landscape but also addressed the flow of music. This house evades the mechanics of the camera; it is difficult to capture the way the interior space flows seamlessly through to the exterior. One must actually stroll through the house to grasp its complexities and its connection to the exterior. One example is a natural wood ceiling, floating on curved laminated wood beams, passing through a generous glass wall which wraps around the main living room.
