Robert Harvey Oshatz - The Fennell Residence

by Jennifer Chait on April 14th, 2008

In the last post we saw the amazing Wilkinson Residence by Robert Harvey Oshatz. We also looked at some of his design approach. Now we’re going to see such a cool house, you’ll adore it 100% guaranteed.

The Fennell Residence is a floating house in Portland, Oregon, that was designed beautifully to match the floating aspect. Curved glue lam beams, huge glass facade and curved lines are perfectly suited to life on the water. When I first saw this, I had no idea it was even a floating home it was a neat surprise. What I did notice were the tear drop like sides and just fell in awe with this house.

How great is this house? Seriously. Look at the nighttime view…

Sigh. To see more make the jump.

Great light.

I love this photo of the house. I don’t know why, it’s like silk, how it flows. I love it, even the red doesn’t ruin it, and red anything usually ruins visuals for me.
