Originally, the front of the house was on the left (eave) side, facing the primary street. Since the Garage was on the narrower, quieter side street, we decided that when we would renovate, we would reorient the front to the quieter side street, and enter through the front Porch. So initially we built the fencing and Pergola entering from the side street into the existing Front Porch. Then in 2003, we pulled off the roof, which enclosed just one large room and a bathroom, and added a full second story. Then we added the gable overhangs to create the effect of a cottage with dormers, so as not to overwhelm the scale of the site. The shingles are stained Cabots Semi-Solid Deck and Siding Oil Stain, 7406, color: Burnt Hickory, and the trim is painted with Benjamin Moore Aura Exterior Low Luster Narraganset Green HC-157, (which is actually a dark blue).

Residential remodel of an attic space added a master bedroom, master bath and nursery as well as much-needed built-in custom storage into the hallway and eave spaces. Light-filled on even the most overcast days, this Portland residence is bright and airy with balance of natural materials playing off a white backdrop. The cedar wood plank walls in the master bedroom and bath give a tactile sense of natural materials and make the rooms glow. All photos: Josh Partee Photography

In the hills above Ogden, Utah, this backyard pavilion works as hard as the home it complements — a poolside cabana, an indoor-outdoor entertaining space, and a flexible ADU all in one. Three nearly 12-foot-tall NanaWall NW Aluminum 640 folding glass doors open the pavilion to the pool, the side yard, and sweeping views of the city below. To echo the charm of the adjacent primary residence, the systems were finished in Steel Effect Classic Bronze powder coat with simulated divided lites — delivering the sleek look of steel-framed doors without the weight, cost, or thermal limitations. Outward stacking keeps every inch of the compact interior usable. The result is a four-season pavilion that lives wide open in summer and closes down to a comfortable retreat year-round.
