Pavement in the Water Wise Demonstration Garden.
Design ideas for an eclectic landscaping in Portland.

The large format artwork hints the love of music found in this home. The Juno recessed lights are mechanically capable of tilting the lamp assembly up to 45 degrees and rotating 360 degrees so they can be aimed at the artwork. This is done above the drywall and are far more appealing than the old "eyeball" lights.

The foyer and main entry feature quartersawn red oak. All boards were 4-1/2" wide and are between 6' and 13' in length. We doubled the underlayment below so we could run the hardwood parallel to the floor joists. Curved staircase and other curved features soften the the areas presentation. The blown art glass chandelier is raised and lowered via the Aladdin lift for cleaning.

Our demonstration theater was designed,engineered and fabricated by ela as a visual and auditory reference masterpiece. Viewing the stunning 4K Sony projector with native 4K 60Hz & extended HDR video content is an eye popping experience. As the soundtrack kicks in, you are transported to another dimension! Only the meticulously crafted home theaters can replicate the directors soundtrack with visceral authority and subtle nuances. We then shift gears transforming the audio experience into to one of the most stunning 2ch stereo reproduction experiences you will ever hear. This theater is a MUST SEE & HEAR reference experience!

The basement offers 10' ceiling height, but coordinating with various early trades (plumbing-Electrical-HVAC) to retain this height was important. The lighting in the basement uses several different types of recessed lights to execute the plan. Its a great space to discuss numerous topics about technology and home construction.

Searching for a unique chandelier to set this house apart lead us to Ed Pennebaker of Red Fern Glass in Green Forest AR. This chandelier was commissioned to our specific size needs which were 48" tall x 38" wide. Our home is referred to locally and the "Chandelier House"

Drought tolerant plants surround open space with lawn. Lawn was seeded with Water Star qualified grass seed to reduce water demand of lawn and further water reductions were achieved by using an underground drip irrigation to minimize evaporation and target water delivery to roots.
