Will Uebelacker Design

Located in Monmouth, Oregon, the inspiration for this custom residential home came from the prohibition era as Monmouth was the last dry city along the west coast. The concerted efforts by city officials to enforce social order was a form of control, a set of rules imposed on the population. With order inevitably comes rebellion and disorderly conduct. However, order can also bring harmony through repetition, cleanliness in standardization, and uniformity.

The house design is segmented by vertical load bearing walls, parapets that rise above the roof forms creating a sense of order between programmatic living sections. Within that order is rebellion and chaos as each segment varies in height and width. Order and chaos each fighting for dominance creates harmony in the building form and function.

A couple of schematic hand drawn options for a client that had a tree fall on their house. They’re taking the opportunity to remodel as much as possible in order to be closer to their dream home vision. The scope includes a new main level floor plan, adding a second floor, and a new roof system.

Our design for a new 26 unit apartment building in southeast Portland. Can’t wait to get this one underway! Swipe to see our 3D Revit digital model, and our initial concept sketch for the exterior composition.

A look back at our ADU design from concept to creation back in 2019. The project was all about maximizing program in a limited amount of space. The entry, living, dining, kitchen and bathroom are located on the main level, and the second level loft provides the sleeping area. Light, bright, and connected to the outdoors, the space feels larger than you’d expect.
