Sylvan Highlands

A bright clean kitchen is showcased here. It was deigned custom for the homeowners, who chose a remodel over starting over. White marble counter tops and wood drawers and cupboards bring a timeless feel. Large windows and minimal walls keep it open.

This extensive renovation brought a fresh and new look to a 1960s two-level house and allowed the owners to remain in a neighborhood they love.

Our client hoped to get a flexible space that could serve as a hobby workshop, as well as a covered connection between their garage and the kitchen. To do this, we connected the existing garage to the home with a sunroom. Above the garage (where there once was a roof!), we added a workspace.

This house was published in the article Modernized Ranch in Portrait of Portland magazine.

  • Location: Portland, OR

    The living spaces were reconfigured to be more open, light-filled and connected. This was achieved by opening walls, adding windows, and connecting the living and dining areas with a vaulting ceiling.

    The kitchen was given a new layout and lined with white oak cabinets.

    The entry and master suite were redesigned to be more inviting, functional, and serene.

    An indoor-outdoor sunroom and a second-level workshop was added to the garage.

    Finishes were refreshed throughout the house in a limited palette of white oak and black accents.
