Funded and developed through partnership between the Maryhill Museum of Art and Washington Department of Transportation, the Maryhill Overlook is an interpretive site installation that lies on a bluff above the Columbia River, within a high-desert landscape of sage, basalt outcroppings and native grasses.
Constructed in 1998 by renowned architect Brad Cloepfil, The Maryhill Overlook is a site-specific sculpture featuring a 150 foot ribbon of concrete with openings that provide capsule views of the surrounding landscape, transforming and shifting with light and perspective. It was Allied Works’ first completed Sitings Project, part of a series of conceptual proposals seeking to interpret and reveal the diverse landscapes of the Pacific Northwest.
