Live Edge

Central Oregon | LEED for Homes Platinum-Certified

Perched above the Deschutes River in Central Oregon, Live Edge combines modern design with the rugged authenticity of the region’s landscape. The home weaves gracefully among native rock formations and juniper trees, creating a seamless connection between architecture and site. Extensive terraces and a greenhouse extend living outdoors, while natural materials and refined detailing ground the home in its Pacific Northwest context.

With a 23 kW photovoltaic system and all-electric operation, the house achieves an Energy Performance Score of zero, producing more energy than it consumes each year. Beyond performance, the home’s design prioritizes accessibility and resilience with an elevator, zero-threshold showers, and renewable energy storage, ensuring that it will serve its owners comfortably for decades to come.

Live Edge has received wide recognition for its integration of beauty, sustainability, and livability. It earned First Place in Global Architecture’s Rethinking the Future Awards (Built Residence category) and was named Best Custom Luxury Home in Green Builder Magazine’s Home of the Year Awards. These honors highlight the home’s exemplary design — one that harmonizes craft, innovation, and connection to place.
