The original one story house was old and had suffered a fire. We saved 3 of the exterior walls, floor joists and the original foundation.

A complete interior remodel included the living room, bathroom and guest bedroom. Window seats were provided overlooking a private patio and garden at the back of the house.

We then added a new entry, garage and a two story addition. The addition included the laundry, kitchen and dining area on the first floor. The second floor includes an office/bedroom and the master suite with a deck over the garage.

Built on a narrow lot, the original house overlapped the setback at the street.

Because of the closeness of the street the owners requested leaving out all street side first floor windows. We bumped out two niches to maintain architectural interest on the outside elevation and provided 3 new skylights in the living room to provide daylighting.

High ceilings on the first floor provided a challenge in meeting local solar codes. To meet this challenge it was necessary to cut the corner off of the second floor at the master closet.

French doors from the master bedroom overlook the deck and provide spectacular views over the tops of the trees of Mount Ashland and Pilot Rock.

Originally designed with Horizontal and shingle siding. The owner changed to T1-11 in order to save money.

From the dining room looking past the entry can be seen the formal living room. Niches with storage below provide a space to display the owners pottery collection. Ample light is provided by the three skylights above.

The stairway was designed to provide a recess to house the owners existing sideboard. A stepped wall provides a space to display pottery and a painting.
