The house that SINGS: Architect reveals his one-of-a-kind futuristic tree-house designed to have the best possible acoustics www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3111849/Inside-house-SINGS-Architect-creates-one-kind-futuristic-treehouse-designed-best-possible-acoustics.html At the intersection of music and architecture stands a unique Oregon home that has been specifically designed to deliver the best possible listening experience. Architect Robert Harvey Oshatz's one-of-a-kind creation, nestled in Portland's lush West Hills, can be rightfully described as a symphony in glass, wood and sunlight streaming through its broad windows. The home was designed in 1997 for Oshatz’s client Roy Wilkinson, a music aficionado who wished to hear birds sing in their natural habitat; it was constructed in 2004 on a steep outcropping of land surrounded by mature trees in Southwest Portland. The residence, dubbed the Wilkinson house after its owner, is a grownup version of a treehouse that seamlessly incorporates together wood and glass, and features many futuristic elements of design. But more importantly, the property is a music lover's paradise.
