STEVEN CHRISTENSEN ARCHITECTURE – HEPTAGON HOUSE
This project is an experiment in micro
housing that offers a geometric solution to
a peculiar regulatory challenge. Required to
adhere to the 195sq ft footprint of an existing
century-old foundation near Heceta Beach,
this highly compact guest house angles
outward from its base, taking advantage
of the simple properties of plan rotation in
order to simultaneously expand the area of
the upper floors and align them toward the
spectacular ocean view.

Jury Comments
“It feels like a fun, big boulder in the
landscape. I felt that if I were climbing in the
mountains and I’d come upon this, I’d smile.”
