Built from the ground up on 80 acres outside Dallas, Oregon, this new modern ranch house is a balanced blend of natural and industrial elements. The custom home beautifully combines various materials, unique lines and angles, and attractive finishes throughout. The property owners wanted to create a living space with a strong indoor-outdoor connection. We integrated built-in sky lights, floor-to-ceiling windows and vaulted ceilings to attract ample, natural lighting. The master bathroom is spacious and features an open shower room with soaking tub and natural pebble tiling. There is custom-built cabinetry throughout the home, including extensive closet space, library shelving, and floating side tables in the master bedroom. The home flows easily from one room to the next and features a covered walkway between the garage and house. One of our favorite features in the home is the two-sided fireplace – one side facing the living room and the other facing the outdoor space. In addition to the fireplace, the homeowners can enjoy an outdoor living space including a seating area, in-ground fire pit and soaking tub.

This Dallas high-rise condominium with a 360-degree view of the city reflects the client’s soft contemporary and transitional taste. Our goal was to create an ambiance of casual sophistication that also conveyed a calm, relaxing environment for the homeowner. We furnished the open floor plan, containing entry, living and dining areas plus three bedrooms. One bedroom featured a multi-purpose setup, as it doubled as a den for her teen son to hang out with his friends. Custom furnishings are unique and were sourced from top quality manufacturers.

This double wooden gate included a split into 1/3 - 2/3 to create an enclosed courtyard in the carport area. There were children at the property, and so stoutness of hardware as well as security were of utmost importance. The home is a Craftsman style, and the gates were built to complement that. The hardware chosen was made of solid bronze to coordinate with the Craftsman appearance. Photos by Victor Robinson Design (www.vicrobinson.com)

McIntosh Poris Architects designed a new 2,610-square-foot single-story single-family house with a basement and four-car garage on a 12-acre site with stables and a pasture. The residence was commissioned for a car designer and dressage instructor who own stable horses as well as extensive collections of midcentury furniture and vintage cars. They requested a relatively small footprint for the home to maximize their pasture area and car garage. The Modern Agricultural design incorporates materials traditionally found in simple farm buildings, such as standing-seam metal, wood batten siding, and finished as well as unfinished concrete. The house’s geometries impart a subtle play of angles complementary to the barn vernacular and the landscape. The building envelope pairs the warm tones of batten wood siding with galvanized standing-seam metal walls for a modern, minimal effect. The owners work from home, so the designers ensured 360-degree views of the property and pastures so that they could see their horses during the day. Taking advantage of the graded site, the rear façade includes large double-story windows providing glimpses into the first floor and basement interiors. The first floor includes a poured concrete rear deck with a handsome metal railing.
