The Octothorpe House

Bend, OR

Unique one-story home with roof and walls constructed with CLT. Dubbed “The Octothorpe House” due to eight wings extending around a central courtyard, resembling a pound sign in aerial views.

The CLT panels made up the gravity- and lateral-resisting systems. Mechanical heating and cooling systems were strategically placed in attic areas with inconspicuous venting through the CLT wall panels.
