Location: Portland, Oregon

The split-level entry divides upper-level living and lower-level sleeping areas. Generous south-facing decks, visually expand the building’s area and connect to a canopy of trees.

The mid-century modern details and materials of the main house are continued into the addition.

Inside a ribbon of white-washed oak flows from the entry foyer to the lower level , wrapping the stairs and walls with its warmth.

Upstairs, the wood’s texture is seen in stark relief to the polished concrete floors and the crisp, white walls of the vaulted space.

Downstairs, the wood, coupled with the muted tones of moss green walls, lend the sleeping area a tranquil feel.
