I like to be at home when my daughter gets home from school each day so having an office that is close to home is of the utmost importance to me. When the opportunity came along to design and build an extension to our home and add a new legal suite that would become SHD headquarters, I was thrilled!
I worked with architect Matthew Hansen, also based in North Vancouver, to come up with a design that was completely integrated with the existing house. His design was all that I had dreamed of and more. Our home was transformed from a modest 1950's side split with a converted carport/garage to what looks like a brand new home with a two car garage and a legal bachelor apartment suite.
When it came to the interior, there was no question that I would spare no expense in making my new office exactly what I had always dreamed. I also had to keep in mind that one day, when I retire or my business outgrows the space, we may want to use it as rental apartment or in-law suite so the design had to be carefully crafted to suit both of these purposes.
The result is a fabulous creative space full of light that houses my successful design business and I couldn't be happier "working from home."

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.

The homeowner wanted to create multiple outdoor individually themed rooms that connected with seamless sightlines. The goal was an outdoor experience used for entertainment. The main “living” area was a bluestone patio connected directly to the home. The patio contained an outdoor kitchen, dining area and fireplace lounge. Bluestone, Painted brick, concrete countertops and steel were the primary materials used to connect all the separate rooms in some form. The “play” area stepped off the patio and contained a lawn, vegetable garden and custom steel bocce court. The “play” area was separated from the “living” area by an 18’ long custom fabricated steel water feature and boxwood planters. The “relaxation” area stepped down from the “play” area and contained a wood burning fire pit, custom steel planters fitted with 2” cal. Willow Oaks to eventually create a natural “roof”, accent lighting and access to the mother-in-law suite. Loose chipped grey slate aggregate was used as the base material to provide a more organic/natural feel. A large French drain system and gravel sump pit is located underneath. The entirety of the backyard drainage including the downspout piping, bocce court drainage and other run off is directed to this point.

The Cartesio is an elegant, iconic table featuring an original coated metal, weight-bearing frame consisting of 4 rectangular-section V-shaped separate elements. The top comes in wood veneer finish or slatted oak. The slatted oak top matched to a rust Corten-finished base lends a metropolitan appearance to this table. Its sculptural modern silhouette and solid lines will add character to the most classic and rigorous settings.
The Cortesio is paired with the Anais Dining Chairs, Sipario Sideboard, and several Pom Pom Suspension Lamps, all by Calligaris.
