Built in 1998, the 2,800 sq ft house was lacking the charm and amenities that the location justified. The idea was to give it a "Hawaiiana" plantation feel. Exterior renovations include staining the tile roof and exposing the rafters by removing the stucco soffits and adding brackets. Smooth stucco combined with wood siding, expanded rear Lanais, a sweeping spiral staircase, detailed columns, balustrade, all new doors, windows and shutters help achieve the desired effect. On the pool level, reclaiming crawl space added 317 sq ft. for an additional bedroom suite, and a new pool bathroom was added. On the main level vaulted ceilings opened up the great room, kitchen, and master suite. Two small bedrooms were combined into a fourth suite and an office was added. Traditional built-in cabinetry and moldings complete the look.

A basement reconfiguration and remodel in a 1924 SE Portland bungalow. A dated, cramped kitchen and awkwardly placed wall was removed to increase flow. A custom built-in was designed to incorporate a small kitchenette, desk, library and hide access to crawl space storage. Reclaimed wood, black accents, modern light fixtures and polished concrete floors.

We took what was a underutilized crawl space, and turned it into a kids dream! We dug out 2ft of dirt so make the ceiling height 6ft, made custom built-ins, and even added an exterior "hobbit" style door to the backyard.

AFTER 2 - The sink was moved into the island. A 2-drawer bank on the far left houses larger pots, pans, etc. The range was where the sink is now since there was a crawl space to change the electrical. Note the change in ceiling height. All the beam shows on the opposite side.
