Portland House
A modern, yet traditionally inspired, SW Portland home with sweeping views of Mount Hood features an exposed timber frame core reclaimed from a local rail yard building. A welcoming exterior entrance canopy continues inside to the foyer and piano area before vaulting above the living room. A ridge skylight illuminates the central space and the loft beyond.

Location: Portland, OR
The elemental materials of stone, bronze, douglas fir, maple, western red cedar, and walnut carry on a tradition of Northwest architecture influenced by Japanese/Asian sensibilities.
Mindful of saving energy and resources, this home was outfitted with photovoltaic panels and a geothermal mechanical system, contributing to a high performing envelope efficient enough to achieve several sustainability honors.
The main home received LEED Gold Certification and the adjacent gatehouse received ADU LEED Platinum Certification. Both structures received Earth Advantage Platinum Certification.
