Owners' suite bathroom was formed out the space from a small bedroom. The adjacent bedroom is new created by adding a floor in the space where a vaulted ceiling was for the family room below. This bathroom includes a water closet, free-standing tub, tiled shower, dual vanities and closet space. Photo by SMHerrick Photography.

As the third generation to own and live in this beautiful home, these homeowners were ready to not only brighten up this kitchen with white cabinets and fresh materials, they were ready to create an open concept kitchen opening up to the large family room addition that had been added years ago. The existing floor plan boasted 5 walkthrough doorways (one of which was to a bathroom) plus a pantry closet door all in about a 222 square foot kitchen. Taking out the center wall eliminates two doorways and altering the entrance to a half bath to now open to back foyer to home eliminates another (and just makes a whole lot more sense!). Natural light now flows into the hub of the home and many can gather around the large island, 64” x 68”. The beautiful hood was cleaned and reused as it truly is a focal point. Aesthetically, the white cabinetry, gray subway tile backsplash, and washed hickory wood flooring create a classic and functional kitchen that accentuates the beauty of this 90 year old home. Existing doors in the home are re-purposed with barn style hardware to stylishly create the new entrance to the half bathroom.

Kitchen was gutted with a new plan to accommodate storage and preparation areas for large group events. Sink in the island is for an additional prep area. The lower countertop is ideal for baking and for unloading groceries. Refrigerator and microwave are near the living area to make it easier for guests to help themselves. Glass-door cabinets were selected to help guests find needed dinnerware and to easily put away dishes after washing them. Natural sunlight with accent lights were on the wish list for the homeowner.

The Next Generation Remodel Project makes a statement in both appearance and layout. With a bold color scheme, completely reconfigured first floor, and expanded living spaces that spill into the outdoors, what was once a quaint two-story home has been transformed into an open and inviting family residence.

This project was a complete gut remodel of the owner's childhood home. They demolished it and rebuilt it as a brand-new two-story home to house both her retired parents in an attached ADU in-law unit, as well as her own family of six. Though there is a fire door separating the ADU from the main house, it is often left open to create a truly multi-generational home. For the design of the home, the owner's one request was to create something timeless, and we aimed to honor that.

This incredible, 12,000sf custom home was thoughtfully designed and built for two generations of family on a hillside with sweeping views of Mt. Hood. A magnificent shared kitchen on the main floor anchors the home, and ample living spaces abound throughout the residence. Attention was paid to hard-wearing, classic surfaces including stainless appliances and quartz countertops, hardwood-look tile floors, and large format porcelain tile floors in baths and laundry/craft spaces. Levels of lighting showcase comfort and texture in every room of the house.

These homeowners had purchased a home planning to make it a multi-generation home, and they were finally ready to build the upstairs kitchen in the bonus room! In the spirit of color and personality we selected the perfect shade of blue and a stained Alder that worked beautifully with the oak floors. And though it started off with a bold blue vein quartz they ended up falling in love with a gorgeous, leathered dolomite that is soft and luxurious. Then, knowing they did not want tile and grout, we suggested IMAGIO tempered glass and Marty found the perfect image of a geode (one of the homeowners collects them) to add the touch of fun and personality to the space! With this space needing to accommodate separate living, we designed and built a custom laundry cabinet and pantry cabinet that can handle all the storage and cooking needs all wrapped up in a cool and functional package! This one was a blast to do for this fun family!
