In the last post we saw the amazing Wilkinson Residence by Robert Harvey Oshatz. We also looked at some of his design approach. Now we’re going to see such a cool house, you’ll adore it 100% guaranteed.
The Fennell Residence is a floating house in Portland, Oregon, that was designed beautifully to match the floating aspect. Curved glue lam beams, huge glass facade and curved lines are perfectly suited to life on the water. When I first saw this, I had no idea it was even a floating home it was a neat surprise. What I did notice were the tear drop like sides and just fell in awe with this house.
How great is this house? Seriously. Look at the nighttime view…
Sigh. To see more make the jump.
Great light.
I love this photo of the house. I don’t know why, it’s like silk, how it flows. I love it, even the red doesn’t ruin it, and red anything usually ruins visuals for me.
To see more of this lovely floating home visit here. To see many more amazing structures visit the entire website of Robert Harvey Oshatz – it’s one of those don’t miss events. There’s even a movie – oh yes, there is.

where exactly is it in portland? I live in eugene and I would love to visit the house!! it awesome..
I’m not sure, because Oshatz’s site, like most architect sites doesn’t hand out home addresses – although, if I had to guess it’s likely down on the waterfront somewhere. The ritzy area. You could email Robert and ask.
