architecture residential nelson-gustofson residence II
Bayshore, Waldport, Oregon - 2004
THE PROJECT
This is a second home design for the same Clients who liked their first home, but wanted more space.
This project was to design a contemporary 2400+ sq.ft. multi-level ocean view home for the same two Portland business men, both who like their privacy, and enjoy entertaining.
Once again, the challenge was to create a contemporary dynamic architectulral solution that would live up to the feel they had with "Dune Rider", the first home.
THE SITE
A relatively level site on the edge of a bluff above Bayshore on the central Oregon coast.
Existing CC&Rs have height restrictions which would limit standard design solutions for the amount of square footages necessary to the Client.
THE CLIENTS
Kay Nelson & Darrel Gustofson
Portland, Oregon, USA
THE BUILDER
The project was not built due to the onset of illness with one of the Clients who needed to move to a dryer climate.

The Concept
By digging into the bluff face and utilizing flat roofs, it was determined that the necessary square footages could be acquired
with what would be a subterranian level from the street, but which would still have three levels on the west preserving great ocean views.
In the preliminary Design Phase, two homes were designed and two models built.
One design was to explore dynamic geometrical shapes for a truly unique, contempory home.
The second design was to explore more traditional contempory lines.
