Designed in 1949 by Pietro Belluschi this Northwest style house sits adjacent to a stream in a 2-acre garden. The current owners asked us to design a new wing with a sitting room, master bedroom and bath and to renovate the kitchen. Details and materials from the original design were used throughout the addition. Special foundations were employed at the Master Bedroom to protect a mature Japanese maple. In the Master Bath a private garden court opens the shower and lavatory area to generous outside light. In 2004 this project received a citation Award from the Portland AIA Michael Mathers Photography

We were approached by the client to transform their snug room into a library. The brief was to create the feeling of a fitted library with plenty of open shelving but also storage cupboards to hide things away. The worry with bookcases on all walls its that the space can look and feel cluttered and dark. We suggested using painted shelves with integrated cupboards on the lower levels as a way to bring a cohesive colour scheme and look to the room. Lower shelves are often under-utilised anyway so having cupboards instead gives flexible storage without spoiling the look of the library. The bookcases are painted in Mylands Oratory with burnished brass knobs by Armac Martin. We included lighting and the cupboards also hide the power points and data cables to maintain the low-tech emphasis in the library. The finished space feels traditional, warm and perfectly suited to the traditional house.

Study/Family Room-the Butler Is In This stunning reading nook/family room is a room that I knew would be getting a lot of use from the entire family. The wonderful acanthus leaf columns were also original to the home with the color and luster that only time could create. I knew I needed to incorporate fabrics that would take the use. On the settee in the study, I used a fabulous patterned tapestry to compliment the settee I used in the entry area. Accents of vintage pillows were used as well. Gothic style was present in the iron work, built in bookcase and stained glass so I designed a custom wall mounted cabinet to reflect the shape of the iron on the staircase to showcase the owners pewter stein collection.. Ironically, the original peacock design in the iron work is linked back to Houston. In doing my research when I was designing their ranch, I hired a company in Houston to manufacture gates for the ranch and discovered they had deigned the iron work with the peacock when this historic house was built. The company does work for the Ima Hogg Mansion in Houston as well. The original slate floors also sparked my interest! I had them cleaned and preserved to bring out the beautiful hues that slate reflects. If only the floors could talk I know I would listen.

The barn shape roof is reflected in the vault over the main spaces of the home, faced with plywood. Geometry is used to create and express different spaces.

Type-Variant is an award winning home from multi-award winning Minneapolis architect Vincent James, built by Yerigan Construction around 1996. The popular assumption is that it is a shipping container home, but it is actually wood-framed, copper clad volumes, all varying in size, proportion, and natural light. This house includes interior and exterior stairs, ramps, and bridges for travel throughout. Check out its book on Amazon: Type/Variant House: Vincent James
