High up on the cliffs overlooking the bay is the Bluff House. Constructed in 2020, this house became a reality in large part due to the hard work of the homeowners, who had a hand in both the design and construction. The house is an English three-bay barn with a grand entryway. The door was hand carved by a friend of the homeowners. The house is clad in our black Gendai®.

Spacious garage build project, 3 vehicle bays with ample perimeter storage room. Installed built-in cabinets and table worktop, open shelving, and wall of hooks for hanging shop and garden tools are features in this new garage build. Heating system installed as well as heated concrete floor to make space functional as a workshop in all seasons. Floor was finished with polyaspartic epoxy coating. Garage is a bright space with ample lighting and large window for natural light. Exterior clad in Hardie siding and gable ends are stucco with decorative cedar bracket features. Large concrete driveway extends from garage to fence and property line. Cedar fencing, gate and arbour were installed to complete this backyard project.

Deep blue Bisazza mosaic lines a lap pool with infinity edge that wraps around the home and terminates into a swimming pool with a tanning ledge. This tanning ledge, sometimes called sun shelf, offers a shallow area great for lounging and tanning in the water. Extensive pool deck, along with covered barbeque and dining area and covered seating space, and large sliding door panels open up the interior and outdoor spaces to one another and facilitate smooth/natural flow of the entertaining guests inside and out. Exterior surfaces combine exotic Brazilian ipe wood and vein-cut limestone creating dramatic contrast on the multi-faceted façade. Ipe is one of the densest hardwoods available, three times harder then cedar and is a great choice for exterior cladding on homes in tropical Florida climate. Photography: Craig Denis

The wide expanse of the wall glass panels, spanning the length of the living space, requires zero tolerance for new house settling or changes in weather conditions. A steel frame with headers, installed with a large crane, were used to create this precision and also support the 12’ cedar overhang and second floor balcony. The house uses steel throughout to amply support the wide open area of the great room and to keep the architectural modern look of the room clear and unobstructed from otherwise low-hanging beams. Windows are aluminum-clad on the exterior and use Sepele mahogany for the interior by Quantum Windows.

This is a New England beach house that is regularly confronted by severe nor'easters. The task was to provide a face-lift that could withstand the windblown salt and sand. The existing exterior cladding consisted of 3 layers of wood clapboard and vertical shiplap siding. The seal around the windows was significantly compromised causing a cold, drafty house to require extensive heating and expense. We removed the 2 outer layers of existing siding to access the window flashing, which we sealed with membrane flashing. We then applied fiber cement panels and covering the vertical seams with Atlantic cedar battens.

This project was thoughtfully executed for a growing family that wanted to be surrounded by beauty. The site captures both Columbia Gorge and Mt. Hood views, and it was meticulously designed and built by a team of conscientious architects and tradespeople.

Ann Lowengart Interiors collaborated with Field Architecture and Dowbuilt on this dramatic Sonoma residence featuring three copper-clad pavilions connected by glass breezeways. The copper and red cedar siding echo the red bark of the Madrone trees, blending the built world with the natural world of the ridge-top compound. Retractable walls and limestone floors that extend outside to limestone pavers merge the interiors with the landscape. To complement the modernist architecture and the client's contemporary art collection, we selected and installed modern and artisanal furnishings in organic textures and an earthy color palette.
