This multidimensional photo shows the relationship between the family room, kitchen, and dining room. The open design of the kitchen creates an easy flow throughout this part of the home. The walls to the right are filled with floor to ceiling windows and large sliding doors to incorporate lots of light and give the option to open up to the outdoors.

Replacing the existing gray vinyl siding with fresh, white fiber cement panels gave the exterior a big lift. The vertical orientation of the board-and-batten profile and sleek black aluminum-clad replacement windows come a long way in creating the contemporary exterior. The updated front entry completes the modern makeover with its chunky overhang, gray-painted slab door, single-panel sidelight, and vertical stainless mail slot and house numbers.

This is a view of the Public Wing of the house from the Living space toward the Dining space and Kitchen. The relationship of the Entry Vestibule (wrapped in sandstone) to the other spaces is best indicated in this photo. The large windows in the Living space afford expansive views to the treed front yard. The furr-down on at the upper left of the photo encloses all the mechanical and electrical infrastructure running between the 3 wings and is at 10' AFF. The ceiling of the Public Wing slopes from 13.5' FF at the top of the furr-down to 16' an the front wall. Photo: David H. Lidsky Architect

Inspiration for a mid-sized timeless l-shaped ceramic tile kitchen pantry remodel in Newark with raised-panel cabinets, white cabinets and no island

These homeowners decided to downsize in their retirement years and move closer to family, which turned their eye toward their long-time rental home in central Corvallis. This 1,000 Square Foot home was in good condition but needed many upgrades to make it more energy- and space-efficient. The design, planning, and remodeling of this compact home were completed before and during the sale of the clients’ large historic property elsewhere in Oregon, in preparation for their move. The space originally included a closed-off kitchen, a dated bathroom, and three small bedrooms. The remodel joined two bedrooms into a large Primary Bedroom, leaving the remaining bedroom as a multi-use Office and Guest Room. Our team renovated the unfinished garage, air-sealed the entire home to lower energy costs, and replaced all of the windows and doors with better U-value models. We created a full-access laundry closet, brightened the entryway with new windows, installed new wood ceiling beams, and added a mail center complete with a mail slot. A highlight of the project is the Kitchen remodel, which opened up the Kitchen to the Living Room by removing a portion of wall. The new Rocky Coast Gray cabinetry contrasts against the rich wood tones of the flooring and Alder wood accents throughout the room. Plenty of space was designed for storage, prep, cooking, and serving, including a small coffee nook with its own window near the refrigerator. Two new skylights were added to the Kitchen ceiling, as well as new overhead recessed lighting and under-cabinet dimmable LED lighting for task lighting. The home’s single bathroom was also remodeled to create accessible features, and includes a new sun tunnel in the ceiling to dramatically brighten the room and highlight the stunning new tile installation. We wish these clients many wonderful years enjoying this home with their family!

Garage workshop - mid-sized traditional attached one-car garage workshop idea in New York

This project reimagines an under-used back yard in Portland, Oregon, creating an urban garden with an adjacent writer’s studio. Taking inspiration from Japanese precedents, we conceived of a paving scheme with planters, a cedar soaking tub, a fire pit, and a seven-foot-tall cedar fence. A maple tree forms the focal point and will grow to shade the yard. Board-formed concrete planters house conifers, maples and moss, appropriate to the Pacific Northwest climate.
