Orondo Residence

Intentionally positioned to ensure privacy along the Columbia River, while capturing sweeping views toward the Chelan Tunnel, the Orondo Residence is a modern retreat designed for both functionality and natural harmony. The home is centered around an open-concept living, kitchen, and dining space, fostering seamless indoor-outdoor connections. Bedrooms flank either side of this core, ensuring privacy while maintaining close proximity to communal areas. Expansive glazing captures the breathtaking riverfront landscape, reinforcing a constant visual and spatial connection to the natural surroundings.

The residence is carefully integrated into its site, with a subtly angled three-bay garage that improves vehicular access while enhancing the overall form. Expansive shed roofs extend outward, offering essential shading from the intense summer sun while providing winter snow protection and the deliberate courtyard layout shields against seasonal winds, ensuring year-round comfort. The design balances modern aesthetics with practical resilience, creating a refined riverfront retreat that harmonizes with the rugged beauty of the Columbia River Valley.
