info
The Signal Shed is located within walking distance of the Eagle Cap Wilderness Preserve in Northeastern Oregon and acts as a short-term residence and outdoor adventure outpost. To limit the project’s environmental impact and cost it was built by the owner/designer using recycyled windows and hardware and reclaimed siding and has no traditional utility connections.
Operable rainscreen shutters secure the windows for extended off-season storage. A large sliding door opens to a porch which provides seamless indoor-outdoor living and views of Wallowa Lake and Signal Mountain beyond. To sit as quietly in the natural landscape as possible, the structure rests on a series of piers and is treated with a dark stain to hide in the forest’s shadows.
