Architect background: Don Vallaster, Portland, Oregon. Don was working for a local architectural firm named Church & Shiels. In 1969 the owners contacted Don to have a house designed in Salishan. They had designed a number of houses & condos in both Salishan & Sun River so they were a natural fit for this project. The design was pretty idiosyncratic w/ an ad hoc crew of 4 people. Some of the exterior surfaces have been changed over time but the interior has remained intact. Don started his own architectural firm named Vallaster Corl Architects. During that time his firm designed a number of award winning restaurants for Macheesmo Mouse. We later specialized in urban mixed use infill projects. Don served on the City of Portland Design Commission for 8 years.
