The homeowners had a very specific vision for their large daylight basement. To begin, Neil Kelly's team, led by Portland Design Consultant Fabian Genovesi, took down numerous walls to completely open up the space, including the ceilings, and removed carpet to expose the concrete flooring. The concrete flooring was repaired, resurfaced and sealed with cracks in tact for authenticity. Beams and ductwork were left exposed, yet refined, with additional piping to conceal electrical and gas lines. Century-old reclaimed brick was hand-picked by the homeowner for the east interior wall, encasing stained glass windows which were are also reclaimed and more than 100 years old. Aluminum bar-top seating areas in two spaces. A media center with custom cabinetry and pistons repurposed as cabinet pulls. And the star of the show, a full 4-seat wet bar with custom glass shelving, more custom cabinetry, and an integrated television-- one of 3 TVs in the space. The new one-of-a-kind basement has room for a professional 10-person poker table, pool table, 14' shuffleboard table, and plush seating.

Dozens of occupancy sensors are embedded in the walls and ceilings of the home to allow the Lighting Control System to automatically turn lights on and off.

This house filled in on a lot in an established neighborhood. The intent was to create a house that looked like it belonged there. The strange collection of volumes mirror other local homes of that era and are driven by the flood zone. The house looks like it might have an addition in the back but it was all built at one time. There is a simple trick embedded in the tower roof pitch, to make it look like it belongs on the house. The large amount of glass on the first floor is made possible by embedding a steel moment frame which envelopes a slider and two windows.
