Skyview has been honored with a Future House Award in the Private Homes category.

Organized by Global Design News and The Chicago Athenaeum Museum for Architecture and Design, the Future House Awards "arise from the convergence of residential design and architectural vision, with the aim of championing and honoring novel and inventive residential projects on a worldwide level."

Situated on a narrow lot in Northwest Portland’s Alphabet District, the four-story Skyview residence inverts the typical residential program. Its primary living quarters, entertainment spaces and kitchen are located on the top floor, where unobstructed views become the backdrop for floor-to-ceiling glass walls that part at the corners. The 30-foot elevation raises everyday living above the power lines and traffic noise of a bustling neighborhood and maximizes panoramic views of the city.
