desert rain
bend, oregon
Perched on a ridge in the heart of Old Bend, just steps from Miller Landing Park, the Deschutes River Trail, the Old Mill District and downtown’s restaurants and galleries sits a unique luxury compound featuring three distinct residences, thoughtfully designed to create an exceptional setting for gathering, while enjoying privacy, comfort and the best of Central Oregon living. Desert Rain is widely recognized as the world’s first Living Building Challenge certified family residence, designed to produce as much energy as it uses while placing sustainability at the center of every decision.
Designed by Al Tozer and constructed by Timberline
Construction beginning in 2011, the home runs on nearly fifteen kilowatts of solar power and consistently generates as much or more energy than it consumes. Greywater flows through a constructed wetland that nourishes native plants, while blackwater is composted and returned to the soil.
The result is a complete closed loop system built for Bend’s high desert climate.
Materials throughout the home carry the story of the land. Rafters were reclaimed from a historic Prineville potato barn, tamarack trees from the property were incorporated into the structure, and wood from earlier homes on the site was reused. When a 201 year old ponderosa pine had to be removed for solar access, the owners organized volunteers to plant 201 new pines in a local park.

Spaces that feed your soul
The home carries a distinct sense of spirit, with intention visible in every corner. Thoughtful craftsmanship, carefully chosen materials, and the way natural light moves through the spaces create an atmosphere that feels both deeply personal and timeless.
Diamond finished concrete floors with radiant heat add comfort, durability, and a quiet simplicity, while expansive glass and carefully placed openings invite in natural light and strengthen the connection to the landscape.
Designed by nature. Built by hand.
Desert Rain feels deeply considered in every way, created not just to look beautiful, but to live beautifully. Natural materials were chosen with real intention, from the American clay walls that bring warmth and texture to the interiors to the reclaimed wood woven throughout the home, much of it carrying its own story and history.
