Eau House

Upon an overlook in the Hood River Valley, an hour outside of Portland, Eau House gazes between the green sloping Cascade Mountains onto the wind-rushed waters of the Columbia River Gorge. It’s a region that’s been designated as a National Scenic Area–the largest in the United States–but this modest single-family home doesn’t attempt to compete with the grandeur of its natural setting. Rather, in concept as well as form, Eau House mirrors the elegance and flow of the waterways it calls home.
