IIDA Design Excellence Awards "Best Of Residential"

IIDA Design Excellence Awards "GRAY’s Choice Award" from GRAY Magazine

“How a Dank ‘70s Swimming Pool Became a Woodsy Modernist Gem,” Portland Monthly Magazine, March 2015

“The 2014 GRAY Award Goes To…,” GRAY Magazine, December 2014-January 2015

“Cool Indoor Pool, Tractor Shed and Nike Projects: Fieldwork Design,” The Oregonian, July 2015

Located in the West Hills above downtown Portland, the project consisted of renovating an existing indoor swimming pool room and transforming an unfinished basement utility and storage area into a wine cellar and changing room. The primary inspiration was the environment in which the project is sited- immersed in the forest, with framed views of Mt. Hood and Mt. St. Helens. The goals were threefold: to remodel the lower level of the house into an environment that was timeless and consistent with the original character of the mid-century modern residence, to create a seamless connection to the outdoors, and to create a peaceful and therapeutic atmosphere for the clients and their family and friends to enjoy.
