Colab Architecture + Urban
OVERVIEW: COLAB was given the opportunity to restore and improve a seminal Northwest Modern residence by the late architect Van Evera Bailey. Sited in Portland's Northwest Hills, the home has a commanding view of Mt. Hood beyond the skyline. The house features classic details of the Northwest Modern period along with some innovated construction techniques.

While the simplicity of the detail is beautiful, the house did present challenges to efforts to improve seismic and energy performance.> OVERVIEW: The Arch Cape House is a 3,400 square foot, four-bedroom, three-bathroom residence located in the Arch Cape community which is approximately four miles south of Cannon Beach.

The house is designed around a central courtyard that maintains a direct view to the west, overlooking the Pacific Ocean.> COLAB Architecture + Urban Design, founded in 1994, brings together the insights of a diverse group of creative professionals. Our philosophy is that good design is created through an integrated multi-disciplinary approach.

Tucked into a forested hillside, the Arch Cape House shields its owners from the elements while opening to spectacular views.
