Project Summary:
Located on a scenic hazelnut farm in Cornelius, Oregon, this incredible custom home is a complete design-build project spearheaded by DC Structures and DC Builders. Designed with glass curtain walls, oversized heavy timbers, and sloped rooflines, this contemporary home combines the warmth of a traditional timber frame home with the eccentricity of an ultra-modern structure. Our client’s residence is split into three levels, with a two-car garage, mudroom, and half bathroom situated on the bottom level. The second floor features a large open-concept living, dining, and kitchen area, along with a private office, a master suite with an attached bath, a cozy TV room, a full bathroom, and a laundry room. On the top level, two bedrooms with a shared bathroom and loft make an inviting guest space for visiting family and friends. Large picture windows in both bedrooms offer stunning views of the surrounding property, including a view of our client’s first project with us – the Cornelius Apartment Barn Kit.
Although there are several show-stopping details in this custom home, one of the most remarkable is our client’s custom heavy timber entryway. Made with 12×12 Douglas fir beams and 6×12 rafters, this covered entry serves as a great example of our mill-direct capabilities. Additional standout features in this custom home include Marvin floor-to-ceiling windows, polished concrete flooring, and a double-sided wood-burning fireplace in the great room. Through sliding glass doors in the dining area, our client can access a spacious covered patio that offers beautiful views of Mt. Hood.
