a single-pitched roof defines each of the units within the small neighborhood of private homes designed by portland-based firm waechter architecture. ‘sawtooth’ features eight residential units displaying dramatic roof pitches that simultaneously acts as a characteristic element and responds to the inhabitants need for privacy, light and views. based by lake oswego in oregon; the 6,100 square feet homes have been organized across two levels with living spaces situated above and the bedrooms below.
the apartments have been painted black to enhance the sculptural quality
WA’s response for each apartment resulted in one generous living space with precisely one east-facing window, coupled with an ambient light window. this meant each unit maintained its privacy, while promoting views of the river and the high clerestory window providing a constant stream of light. as well as the roof form, the building’s walls and roofs are painted black to enhance their sculptural quality.
