Hunt Club House
Portland, OR
A modern ranch house organized around the backyard as an additional room for family life.
Designed for a young family of five, Hunt Club House brings a full domestic program onto one level, with spaces that open generously to the landscape. The backyard centers the scheme, extending everyday living outdoors and connecting the main house with an ADU for grandparents and guests. The two buildings frame a shared setting for gathering while maintaining privacy and independence.
The house balances the changing rhythms of the day. A wing containing a home office supports daytime work, while the primary suite and bedrooms form a quieter counterpart. Between them, the living room and kitchen create a shared center that spills onto the backyard. Each part of the house offers a different view and relationship with the garden, giving the simple, single-story form a varied experience of its surroundings.
Vertical wood cladding unifies the house and ADU, bringing warmth through the seasons. Inside, a restrained material palette centers on a cast-in-place concrete fireplace and hearth, a shared priority for the owners and design team from the outset. Minimal wood kitchen cabinetry is complemented by marble and tile, introducing texture and contrast.
West of West developed the vision in collaboration with David Stamatis, a longtime friend of the studio and family. As architect of record, the office carried the project through design, documentation, and delivery, maintaining a cohesive relationship between the home, guest accommodation, and landscape.
