Designed from the Inside Out
One of Portland’s premier interior architects takes on his most challenging project: his own home.
Back to Its Roots
Set on the southernmost slopes of Mt. Hood, the town of Government Camp has served as a recreation destination for generations of visitors. Its close proximity to area ski resorts makes this unpretentious village a favorite of both locals and seasonal sports enthusiasts.
New Beginnings
Bob and Carla Patterson were happily co-hosting a holiday party at their Prineville vacation home when they received some bad news.
Classic porch
A beautifully crafted, historic veranda appears nearly untouched by time’s passing.
Rustic Cabin Renewed
Until recently, Ninian Blackburn and Kat Grammer’s rustic home in the Hood River Valley was as challenging as it was charming. Despite its beautiful recycled Douglas fir interior and pristine views of Mt. Hood, the simple act of spending the weekend in the drafty 40-year-old house in Parkdale had become more and more a labor of love for the married couple.
Mount Tabor Home Addition
When Jim and Courtney Brooks moved into their 1940s bungalow in Portland’s Mount Tabor neighborhood in the summer of 2012, they knew that, in theory, they had views of Mt. Hood and the Cascades. They just didn’t have an actual second-floor, east-facing room to enjoy them in.
Home Design for the Future
Portland’s green builder of the year builds a modern infill home.
Master Bath Makeover
Opportunity often comes disguised as a disaster.
Zen Retreat
Randy and Ellen wanted a master bath that looked out over the Asian-themed oasis in their backyard. The Beaverton couple also wanted their Zen- style retreat to have simple, elegant and peaceful features. Whoever they hired to transform their bathroom needed to have an eye for detail. Said Randy, “We are perfectionists with high expectations.”
Modern Connections
The owners of a 1950s Colonial-style ranch in Southwest Portland knew their kitchen needed to jump forward a few decades—or seven.
