Evening Sky

Future home and vineyard in Oregon Wine Country

The vineyards and home at Evening Sky are under development with the long-term plan to add a winery and tasting room as the business takes hold. The 40-acre project is sited in the McMinnville foothills overlooking Willamette Valley to the east and the Coastal Range to the west. The house sits in a natural clearing at the site’s high point taking full advantage of the breathtaking views in both directions.

The form is a long bar with two wings separated by a covered outdoor patio. The main wing has the great room and primary suite and the guest wing has two bedrooms, a common living room, and a kitchenette for guests. The great room, outdoor patio, and guest living room act as intimate spaces for the day-to-day with the ability to connect all three for larger parties. Services like the laundry, pantry, and mud rooms are grouped along the entry side of the house for privacy and to shield from the harsh evening sun in the summer. A simple roof line with deep overhangs also moderates the direct sun over the expansive floor-to-ceiling glass walls framing the views.
