Three-Story Contemporary Home in a Wooded Setting

Location: Bend, Oregon

We lovingly calling this home “The Treehouse.” Situated on a wooded hillside, the surrounding trees rise around the expansive Andersen 100 Series windows to feel as though you are perched in the treetops. Custom built by Solaire Homebuilders in 2024, this three-story contemporary home backs to parkland near Overturf Park in Northwest Bend. A wrap around composite deck off the main floor with custom powder coated railing system extends living and entertaining space into the great outdoors. A secondary deck below offers privacy for their hot tub and provides the homeowners with a place to sit and escape with a cup of coffee or enjoy an end of day cocktail. Each of our custom homes are designed to fit our homeowner’s lot, lifestyle and sustainablity goals making this a one-size-fits-one, not a one-size-fits-all building experience. These homeowners knew what they wanted and did their homework to research and find a sustainable custom homebuilder in Central Oregon to build their dream green home. Green homes are designed and built to provide benefits to those who live in the home and to the environment that conventionally built homes (homes built to normal local and national building codes) don’t offer.

The homeowners pride themselves on their generous hospitality and love entertaining friends, family, and colleagues in their professional-grade gourmet kitchen. We at Solaire can attest to this and were fortunate to benefit from their culinary talents throughout the construction process of this beautiful home. The kitchen is perfect place for a weekend chef to expand their culinary passion, featuring a suite of Bosch and Viking appliances including an induction cooktop, a refrigerator, drawer microwave and dishwasher. The open concept family room has built-in custom cabinetry from Brian’s Cabinets to compliment the kitchen with wet bar featuring a sparkling water tap and custom lit shelving to highlight the homeowners’ glass collection.

The two-story family room is breathtaking with a custom cedar tongue and groove ceiling with decorative beams to compliment the home’s American Walnut wood flooring. A Stûv Woodburning fireplace is the star of the family room set into a dramatic floor-to-ceiling ledgestone fireplace with a Cement Elegance hearth and custom fabricated steel firewood box. The home was prewired for audio and a Samsung Frame TV. A custom walnut staircase with custom fabricated powder coated black handrails steals the show in the hallway and connects all three levels of the home.

The spa-like bathrooms feature radiant floor heat, frameless glass walk-in showers, and stunning three-dimensional tile walls with accent lighting and floating mirrors. Even the homeowner’s two cats live in luxury with their own custom built litter box enclosure featuring a motion activated light and exhaust fan system that is ventilated outdoors.

The stream-lined metal roof, a mix of siding types and gorgeous exposed wood posts and beams on the exterior make for an impressive curb appeal! This light-filled, super-efficient contemporary home will be the envy of the neighborhood. We’ve shown that contemporary homes can be built with sustainability in mind, using eco-friendly materials and green building techniques.
