These are the best sample picture of Amazing Hillside Gibson Boat House and Studio by Robert Harvey Oshatz one of the best architect firm from US. This house located in Lake Oswego, Oregon, US and all these project completed in 1995. When I saw this house, I impreseed with the shape and the green sod roof so amazing and unique. For full description after this photos below.

The Gibson’s had an existing boathouse but felt it was a blemish on their property. They wanted to reuse the existing boat stall but build a new boathouse while adding a new studio and study. The driveway to their property is shared with neighbors. The site went from the lake up the hillside to the driveway above. Since the driveway to their property is shared with neighbors, it was decided to build the studio into the hillside. and have a sod roof so the structure would not be noticed as the neighbor drove down- the driveway. Mrs.Gibson, an artist, wanted her studio space to have high ceilings and ample natural light. Mr. Gibson, an entrepreneur, wanted a more intimate space to keep track of his business activities. The structure grows out of stonewalls that are shaded by an arching sod roof. The roof is constructed with straight Douglas fir glue laminated beams and fir decking.
