Sheridan, Oregon, USA
Chris Kempel and his team at Rockefeller Kempel Architects designed this Mid-Century modern-inspired residence in Sheridan, Oregon that thoughtfully reflects a simplicity of form and intentional connection with nature.

Embracing the core value of excellence, it is a place where art and purpose collide to support an active, bi-coastal family.
Set into the picturesque backdrop of Oregon’s wine country, the hillside property enjoys scenic views of the Willamette Valley wine country from the edge of a layered grove of Douglas fir trees.

The many covered porches afford places to enjoy outdoor living while admiring the breathtaking vistas.
Careful attention was given to the architectural details, the combination of materials, and their skillful crafting. The material palette is a selection of locally quarried natural stone and wood.

Cedar ceilings, oak floors, a walnut staircase, and bluestone-clad fireplaces and floors create a warm material palette seen throughout the home.
Strategically placed clerestories and skylights take full advantage of diffuse natural daylight.

They serve particularly well in the often-dreary winter months of the Pacific Northwest to help rejuvenate the soul.
Thoughtful care, rigor, and meticulous attention to detail dictated the design of this Oregon countryside home.
