The Fennell residence is a floating house in Portland, Oregon designed by the architect Robert Oshatz. The imaginative use of curved glue lam beams evoke the poetry of the ripples and contours of a river. The clients likes loft-style living, so they need was no more than a living areas, a kitchen, a master bedroom, a study, guest bed and bath.
The expansive glass facade embraces the river and frames the sunset, and one accesses the deck via an expansive sliding glass door. The master bedroom sits over a study and looks out over the living dining area and out to the river beyond. The curvilinear forms create spacial differentiation that enhance the experience of time as light plays 
through the daily and
seasonal changes. Oshatz says “For this house I created one curving radius for the full home, then manipulated an s-curve to fit inside that radius,” The resulting interior gives the feeling of being inside a seashell.
