In the high desert of Eastern Oregon, architecture can either compete with the landscape or become a quiet extension of it. At High Desert Overlook, a remarkable 80-acre property atop Warm Springs Butte takes the latter approach. Overlooking Crystal Crane Hot Springs and the expansive Harney Basin, the residence pairs the rugged character of Oregon's high desert with an unexpectedly sophisticated piece of container architecture.
