Automatic shades protect the furnishings from sun damage and works with the Smart Thermostat to keep the environment at the right temperature all-year round. Freezing temperature sensors ensure the fireplace automatically ignites just in case the HVAC lost power or broke down. Contact sensors on the windows and door work with the home weather station to determine if windows/doors need to be closed when raining; not to mention the primary use with the security system to detect unwanted intruders.

Project Overview:
The owner of this project is a financial analyst turned realtor turned landlord, and the goal was to increase rental income on one of his properties as effectively as possible. The design was developed to minimize construction costs, minimize City of Portland building compliance costs and restrictions, and to avoid a county tax assessment increase based on site improvements.
The owner started with a large backyard at one of his properties, had a custom tiny home built as “personal property”, then added two ancillary sheds each under a 200SF compliance threshold to increase the habitable floor plan. Compliant navigation of laws and code ended up with an out-of-the-box design that only needed mechanical permitting and inspections by the city, but no building permits that would trigger a county value re-assessment. The owner’s final construction costs were $50k less than a standard ADU, rental income almost doubled for the property, and there was no resultant tax increase.

Our retired homeowners have a large, beautiful property. With a property this large and a fixed income budget, we decided to prioritize the garden space close to the house. The homeowner’s wish list included a French lavender garden and space to entertain another couple or two, as well as protection from the afternoon sun. We designed a new covered patio space with large format pavers, pulling it away from the house to meet code setbacks, building an expansive patio for both living dining. Hidden automatic electric shades give protection from afternoon sun. With the addition of a fan, shade cloth and heaters, the homeowners have a space to enjoy year-round.

We will get precise measurements of your project to ensure a perfect fit of your new stretch ceiling, which is custom made in a European factory.
Step-by-step installation
.
Preparation
On the scheduled installation day, if needed we will move and/or cover and protect pieces of furniture within the work area (normally no furniture needs to be removed from the room, since access is only required just around the perimeter). As a mere precaution, we would still recommend that any specific item of sentimental value or hard to replace to be removed by you and placed in a safer area.
Tracks
A horizontal line is to be made so we use a self-leveling laser to provide a perfect ceiling flatness. All angles are measured with our device, specially designed for ceilings, in order to ensure a flawless result.
Now the tracks are cut at exactly the same dimension (which is necessary for incoming and outgoing angles) and ready to be screwed or stapled, whether to the walls or directly to your actual ceiling (it could be any type of frame or some other form of rigid structure).

This new 1,560 square foot, three bedroom, two bath residence replaces a Paradise, CA home destroyed in the 2018 Camp Fire. The owners wanted an attractive and modest house to live in while they built their dream home on an adjacent lot. The house will later be used as rental income and provide much needed housing in Paradise.
The back of the house faces west towards an excellent view of a stand of oaks that survived the fire. The large rear porch roof provides protection from unwanted glare and the setting summer sun, so the house does not overheat in the summer. The porch also extends the living space and provides excellent year round indoor/outdoor living. It is open framed with rafters so there is an expansive view to the forest and ample diffused daylight throughout the year. It also protects the home from prevailing weather patterns.
The open floor plan provides an outstanding space for entertaining guests with large windows bringing in the outdoors.
Even though the house is built on a sloped lot it is fully barrier free and employs universal design principles throughout including a curbless shower in the Primary Bath.
Several energy efficient materials and methods were used while staying within a modest construction budget. The roof uses a 12” energy heel to allow a consistent insulation blanket in the attic and blown-in blanket (BIB) insulation was used in the walls to provide an R-23 wall assembly, much better than code requirement and better than standard construction. A cool roof, foil backed roof sheathing, heat pump HVAC system, heat pump water heater, and a whole house fan round out the energy efficiency measures of this house.
