High Desert Residence Residence Award

From Hacker Architects

We’re excited to share the High Desert Residence received an AIA Northwest + Pacific Region Merit Award during yesterday's ceremony – thank you to the awards jury and congratulations to the project team!

Located near Bend, Oregon, the 4,300-square-foot, four-bedroom home was designed as a regular weekend sanctuary for an active couple, and a getaway for their extended family. Taking full advantage of the surrounding high desert landscape in Central Oregon, this contemporary home seamlessly blends indoors and out, capturing views of land and sky. Interior materials heighten the connection to the outdoors, with floors, ceilings, and wall planes visually extending from interior to exterior. Natural cedar siding on the exterior, stained in the warm gray of surrounding native plants and shadows, blends and recedes into the landscape, adding to the calm of this desert retreat throughout the seasons.
