Yaquina Bay

Newport, Oregon
Single Family

Overlooking Yaquina Bay, this 6,000 sq. ft. private residence by Capri Architecture and S&J Construction is designed and built to optimize the ocean views while keeping the occupants comfortable. The home features one large shed roof to create high vaulted ceilings and open gathering spaces. The open-concept living, kitchen and dining has many extra-large windows that create a naturally bright interior and allows the homeowners to comfortably watch the colourful Oregon sun sets.

Designing and building an energy-efficient, comfortable and durable home was a priority for the homeowners and building team. The highly insulated windows not only protect the home from the ocean wind and rain, but also provide natural daylighting for each space. Passive cooling is achieved through natural cross-ventilation strategies and the heating is provided by a high-efficiency heat pump.

The residence is the new home of ‘Deadliest Catch’ fishing family and was featured in The Oregonian. The homeowners described their new residence as “a place to gather (and) to celebrate life”. + Read the article and see all the photos here
