KITCHEN + BATH DESIGN Master bathrooms and kitchens can be traditional or contemporary in style, spacious or petite, and everything in between. But the common denominator that makes them feel like a luxurious spa or chef’s kitchen is a well planned selection of the latest materials and fittings.

LAKEFRONT LIFE Two native Oregonians began looking for a vacation home in the Pacific Northwest. They tried Bend, the Oregon coast, and even the Willamette River without luck. While viewing a parcel of land on a bluff overlooking Yale Lake, they spotted the perfect lakefront property and called on Garrison Hullinger Interior Design to create their dream lakefront retreat.

ISLAND MAKEOVER

A celebration of French cooking by 2017 James Beard award winning chefs Greg and Gabrielle Denton, Bistro Ages serves up Parisian Bistro Fare in Downtown Portland’s West End.

For Peter Brachvogel of BC&J Architecture of Seattle, the makeover of this 1931 Norman-style home was a second time around, and a first-time collaboration with interior designer Taylor Ogle of Taylor Anne Interiors in Santa Barbara, who was intimately aware of the home’s shortcomings having spent her teenage years there.

MAGNOLIA HOUSE Architecture is a little bit like yoga: it’s all about balance. This new contemporary home in Seattle’s Magnolia neighborhood by Rerucha Studio, follows the rules of a great outfit and mixes luxuries and basics for home that hits the bull’s-eye: High-end and on-budget.

WITH SUNNY DAYS AHEAD, I THINK ROAD TRIP! This involves good tunes, rolling down the windows and opening the sunroof for the full experience. Everything is blooming and as summer unfolds, it’s a great time to go exploring. Time for a picnic or a drive to the Coast. Pacific City now is now sporting a new 33room luxury hotel, Headlands Coastal Lodge and Spa, and their Executive Chef Andrew Garrison, formerly of Jory at the Allison Inn is already making his mark. Tiny houses are all the rage, especially if they happen to be in the middle of a vineyard. Wine writer Eric Degerman takes us to seven Washington wineries that have created special places for guests to stay overnight in their vineyards. Accommodations range from adorable tiny houses to luxury apartments and secluded cottages with all the comforts of home. Once the public goes home, you’ll pretty much have the vineyard to yourselves. How nice. It’s a chance to meet the winery owners and wine makers, and best of all, to live the life at a winery, if only for a weekend. Architect Nathan Good combined luxury with sustainability in a family home in Portland’s West Hills. The LEED Platinum home wraps best-in-class energy and water efficiency features in clean, warm, contemporary design. After an exhaustive search for vacation property in Bend, along the Willamette and the Oregon coast, interior designer Garrison Hullinger’s clients finally found the perfect parcel for their lakefront retreat on Yale Lake.

collaboration with interior designer Taylor Ogle of Taylor Anne Interiors, who was keenly aware of the home’s shortcomings having spent her teenage years there. James Beard award-winning chefs Greg and Gabrielle Denton have done it again. This time they give us Bistro Agnes with Parisian bistro dishes you take one bite of and you’re already booking your next reservation. Seriously. I have friends who have gone back two and three times in one week! Even I am already craving another taste of their Escargot and Button Mushroom Gratinee, Steak Frites and Pan Roasted Chicken with Truffle Macaroni. They graciously shared recipes for Onion Soup Gratinee, Salade Lyonnaise, and a decadent Tarte au Chocolat. Thankfully, they take reservations. Eye On Design captures the latest colors and design trends and where to source everything locally from furnishings and rugs to tile and fabrics. Online has its place, but in my book, nothing beats old fashioned service from locals with a vested interest in making and keeping you happy.

IN 2014, TWO NATIVE OREGONIANS WHO ARE NOW CAREER PROFESSIONALS LIVING IN WASHINGTON, D.C., BEGAN LOOKING FOR A VACATION HOME IN THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST. THEY TRIED BEND, THE OREGON COAST, AND EVEN THE WILLAMETTE RIVER WITHOUT LUCK. WHILE VIEWING A PARCEL OF LAND ON A BLUFF OVERLOOKING YALE LAKE, THEY SPOTTED THE PERFECT LAKEFRONT PROPERTY. A LITTLE SLEUTHING CAME NEXT.

LAKEFRONT LIFE written by DONNA PIZZI photography by BLACKSTONE EDGE STUDIOS

FROM THE BLUFF, JENNIFER HING, SENIOR ADVISOR FOR THE HOUSE APPROPRIATIONS COMMITTEE, could see the neighborhood bordering the lake below. “I used to fish on those lakes when I was a little kid,” says Hing, who went a step further, and pulled the tax records for two properties that were for sale. “I wrote a personal note to the owners,” she continues, “and we ended up buying the lot without a home on it, which meant we had to build from scratch - something neither my husband, John Scofield (a federal lobbyist), nor I had ever done.” “We spent a year looking without finding anything remotely like this lakefront lot overlooking Mt. St. Helens,” says Hing. “It’s a uniquely beautiful property. There’s nothing like it anywhere in the world.” The odyssey continued as the couple began looking for an architect, builder and interior designer. They found Garrison Hullinger of Garrison Hullinger Interior Design (GHID) online and knew Jeff Haggart of Haggart Homes from various Street of Dreams homes they’d seen. Although they interviewed several large architectural firms, they chose Michael Blondino, of Blondino Design, a Vancouver-based home designer with whom they clicked immediately. “Michael was very passionate about the project. He got what we wanted immediately – a family home where everybody can feel comfortable and yet have space for a lot of events. We also liked that Michael was a solo operator, who we could reach at any time, given our work schedules and the difference in our time zones.” “Before having a specific design meeting about the project,” recalls Blondino, “we went out to the site and drew up some concepts, including a preliminary floor plan, that would marry a stunning modern home with the gorgeous landscape. We even aligned the entry with the mountain, and then created a canopy with the exact same slope of the mountains that come down to the lake to focus your attention on Mt. St. Helens.”

When Hing and Scofield asked Blondino if there were any interior designers he liked to work with, he mentioned Garrison Hullinger. Hing told him that GHID, who had been involved in preliminary meetings with them prior to Blondino coming on board, had said the same about him. “Garrison and I hit it off immediately,” says Hing. “He totally got the design I was going for – rustic modern – so I barely had to do much of anything. They took the project and were off like gang busters on it.” “Jen talked about how they wanted something completely opposite from their traditional row home in D.C., with its traditional details,” says Hullinger, “how they wanted something more contemporary and large enough to accommodate family and friends from out of town.”

“We all agreed,” says Blondino, who attended several collaborative meetings with GHID and the clients, “that we wanted to keep the look simple and clean. There needed to be a solid presence of wood, more sustainable surfaces. A stucco exterior was the easiest on the environment.” “It was Jen’s idea to use wood plank tile flooring to make the home easy to care for with family and guests coming in from the lake,” says Hullinger, who brought on Tiffany Weber as the lead designer on the project with Alison Fedderson in charge of the furnishings. “They wanted the family and guests to feel at ease when they were using the home, which led to our maximizing the kitchen layout to accommodate 20 or more people.” “In order to create a chef ’s kitchen with double refrigerators, dishwashers, and ovens, without having guests getting into one another’s way,” says Hullinger, “we created different zones: a center island that acts as command central and prep area, and an outer more casual island with barstools and a foot rail for entertaining. If you take away the barstools, more people can stand around the area and hangout.” PortraitMagazine.com

Space was also made for a kitchen window banquette to allow guests to sit, sip, and chat with those who are doing the cooking. Pratt & Larson multi-size herringbone tile sets off the dark glass induction cooktop Jenn-Air stove flanked by darker quartz perimeter countertops. Appliance garages hide appliances within the large cabinets; a pantry built for entertaining is tucked off to the side. White rift oak cabinetry keeps the look simple and sleek. “Other people have told us that building and designing a home was such a hard endeavor,” says Hing, “but that wasn’t the case for us at all. Both Blondino and Garrison were very nice and efficient; we didn’t have to go through round after round of revisions.” Hing describes their successful, marathon meetings with GHID as starting with a cup of coffee in one hand and a sandwich in the other, and lasting for several intense hours, since the couple could not fly out to Portland every weekend. Everything, in fact, was designed to accommodate the owners’ busy professions. “When we said we wanted a space where we could work,” says Hing, “they created a separate master suite for privacy, and an office for John, so we could continue working, which allows us to stay there more frequently.” The upstairs rec room, however, is Hing’s “personal obsession.” “John is an incredible cook, so that kitchen was exactly what he wanted,” she says, “but I love everything about the rec room: it faces the water, the antler chandelier, sitting in those leather chairs overlooking the lake on a sunny or even rainy day is wonderful!” Bringing as much light into the interiors as possible was a key element of Blondino’s design. “We wanted it to glow with reflected, ambient light, especially as the sun rises from the East and floods the house.” Jeff Haggart, who Hing and Scofield praise for being very responsive and on top of things, often works with out-of-state executives who are moving to the Pacific Northwest. He uses a system of

status reports at the end of each week that include photos of what has been completed at a given site, as well as a “To Do” list. Haggart says his team stepped in at a point when GHID had already “dialed in” 95% of the design with the client. “They did an excellent job of selecting the materials that play well with the architecture,” says Haggart, who was very involved in setting the elevation of the home with Blondino. “We all collaborated on how best to work in the view,” recalls Hullinger. “To prevent obstructing it, we created one datum line with the unique furnishings that include matching leather chairs that swivel toward the view or

any conversation.” The exterior rock is pulled into the massive fireplace, contrasting with the quartz countertop material which they reiterated in the seated hearth. “Alison chose practical performance fabrics for the furnishings that also deliver a luxe feel,” says Hullinger. Bunkbeds ensure they can sleep lots of kids, and yet are big enough for adults. “Thanks to Alison creating custom benches for the dining table that can also be moved into the living room,” says Hing. “Our family can, for the first time in its history, all sit around the table, instead of eating in shifts!”

SUSTAINABLE written by MARGARETT WATERBURY photography by DARIUS KUZMICKAS

In the kitchen, a motorized control allows residents to open the clerestory window above the range for natural ventilation. White ceilings with exposed wood beams give it a crisp, farmhouse-inspired look. “We wanted the ceilings to be as light as possible so the interior would glow with natural light,” says architect Nathan Good.

LUXURY, MEET SUSTAINABILITY. THIS LEED PLATINUM HOME WRAPS BEST-IN-CLASS ENERGY AND WATER EFFICIENCY FEATURES IN CLEAN, WARM, CONTEMPORARY DESIGN. Sometimes, collaboration beats competition. When the original owners of this contemporary home in Portland, Oregon, called architect Nathan Good in 2011, it wasn’t the first time they’d met. “He was one of my competitors!” laughs Nathan. Both had previously worked as green building consultants as the founders of competing firms. But after Nathan left his company and started offering architectural services, this homeowner set their competitive past aside and paid Nathan the ultimate compliment: he hired his firm, Nathan Good Architects, to design a new home for his family. With three school-aged children, these homeowners wanted a space that had room for everybody, but didn’t feel so large or spread out that the family members started to feel disconnected from one another. They also wanted privacy, with more land around them than a traditional urban home offered. And, with a professional background in green building and sustainability, energy efficiency— including enough direct sunlight to install solar panels—was also a must. “Sustainable design starts with site planning,” says Nathan, underscoring the importance of finding just the right spot. Nathan and the homeowners finally settled on a relatively flat 1.7-acre property in Portland’s West Hills, not far from downtown. A preexisting home on the site was deconstructed, and some of its components were salvaged and re-used in the new home construction including timber beams, framing lumber, and the foundation, which was pulverized and used as road base. After completing sun path studies to understand the play of light across the site, Nathan and his team decided to locate the home at the north side of the lot to minimize noise and take advantage of every last bit of precious Northwest light. “We design homes somewhat differently for the indirect cloud cover light we have here in the Northwest,” says Nathan. Rather than a weakness, he says indirect light can actually be better than pounding sun. “Direct light is not always your friend in a home,” says Nathan. “It can result in glare and overheating. But artists have known for decades about the value of soft northern light in their interior studios.” That took on special significance in this home, since the original homeowner is an avid photographer with an extensive collection of prints. Too much UV exposure, and those prints could fade or bleach. Taking cues from museums and studios, Nathan created a gallery-inspired layout in a long, relatively narrow structure that runs east to west in order to take advantage of the entire sun path.

ELEVATION An earlier single-level layout made the home lose cohesion, with bedrooms too remote from the core of the home. To keep the family connected, the architects opted for a two-story bedroom wing adjacent to the kitchen and great room. On the bottom floor, a daylight basement houses recreation amenities and a walk-out patio with a hot tub. FLOOR PLAN Sited in an east-west orientation to maximize exposure to the sun, the home is built around a gently curved gallery-like central hallway. “Curving the walls makes it more visually interesting than a long, straight hallway,” says Nathan.

LIVING ROOM

A gallery-like curved hallway acts as the backbone of the building– Nathan calls it “the thread in a string of pearls”– connecting the bedrooms, home office, and master bedroom with the great room, kitchen, and fireplace nook. The building prominently incorporates clerestory windows – short windows between roof layers – to bring light into the center of the home. Nathan says this feature was partially inspired by the Mt. Angel Library in Mt. Angel, Oregon, which was designed by Finnish architect Alvar Aalto. “He was a pioneer in using natural light in overcast climates to illuminate public buildings like libraries and civic halls,” explains Nathan. The sustainability features in this property are extensive. It has a heat recovery ventilation system that filters outside air before it enters the home and harvests heat from air released to the outdoors. The operable clerestory windows provide passive ventilation, drawing warm air up and out through the home. Electric car charging stations are built in, and appliances were chosen with their energy demands in mind. A 12 kWh solar system generates nearly enough electricity to meet all of the home’s needs. The roof is structured to support a green roof. Yet it’s the less glamorous features like triple pane windows, enhanced insulation, LED light fixtures, and tightly sealed construction that constitute the bulk of the home’s energy savings. “We call those the energy vegetables,” laughs Nathan. “You eat your energy efficient vegetables before you have your solar electric dessert.” Altogether, these features give the property an energy consumption score of 23 million BTUs per year, well under Oregon’s average of 101 million, and a carbon emission score of 3.6 tons of C02 released per year, as compared to an Oregon average of 9.2 tons.

The construction phase brought in general contractor Don Young & Associates, a group with more than 30 years of experience in new home construction and renovation. “We welcome opportunities to work with Don and his group,” says Lydia Peters, the project manager with Nathan Good Architects. “He takes the time to carefully explain the hows and whys with our clients. Their project superintendent for this residence, John McCutchen, was excellent to work with.” The homeowner also brought in Karol Niemi of Karol Niemi and Associates for the design and detailing of the kitchen and the closets throughout the home. The cabinets in the kitchen were made from figured English sycamore, a refined wood with a soft veneer, topped with Cambria quartz. But the kitchen island showcases a different combination of materials. The base is made from cerused ash wood, which is treated with pigment and then wiped off to highlight its remarkable natural grain. The top is a slab of Cold Springs granite with an antique finish. By choosing distinctive materials for the island, Karol says it becomes a “central feature” of the kitchen. LEED Platinum certification calls for a significant portion of the materials used to build the home, including interior surfaces, be produced within a 500 mile radius of the home. When this home was built in 2011, sourcing materials locally was much more challenging than it is today. Floors are made from character-grade madrone wood harvested from within 70 miles of the home and Forest Stewardship Council certified. The final result is living proof that sustainability and luxury can happily coexist. Clean, elegant, and refined, this is a home that’s not just timeless; it’s doing its part to ensure a better future.

Roof bands allow for windows that bring light into the interior of the home and give it a stacked look from the exterior. The roof and soffits are light in color, and the soffits are slanted to help reflect even more indirect light into the home. The exterior of the home is clad in sustainably harvested cedar.

Pendleton’s Iconic Patterns Come Into View The Shade Store Launches Pendleton by Sunbrella Collection, an exclusive collection of iconic patterns deeply rooted in American heritage. Steeped in Northwest tradition of weaving fabric, dating back to 1863, locally owned Pendleton Woolen Mills collaborated with The Shade Store and Sunbrella to create an exclusive collection of soft window coverings in three iconic Pendleton patterns. The new collection is available for soft window treatments, including three Roman shade styles and eight drapery styles. This collection artfully translates the iconic patterns, color and history of Pendleton into textiles with the beautifully soft hand and proven performance of Sunbrella. Three iconic prints were incorporated into the design story for The Shade Store: Zapotec–The pattern is inspired by the 2,000 year weaving history of the Zapotec peole of Oaxaca, Mexico, with classic geometric designs and elegant simplicity of traditional Zapotec blankets. Diamond River Tonal features large-scale, layered geometric patterns and a cooler palette that mimic the deep rivers of the American Southwest.

PACIFIC CITY

IF RUGGED, WINDSWEPT PACIFIC CITY IS THE EDGE OF THE WORLD, HEADLANDS COASTAL LODGE & SPA FEELS LIKE THE CENTER. THE OREGON COAST’S NEWEST LUXURY HOTEL MAKES IT EASY TO HEAD OUT INTO THE WILD FOR YOUR VERY OWN OREGON ADVENTURE—OR HUNKER DOWN WITH A GLASS OF PINOT AND WATCH THE WAVES. LIFE ON THE EDGE NEVER FELT SO GOOD.

STAY Headlands Coastal Lodge & Spa offers luxurious surroundings, 33 oceanfront guestrooms, Meridian Restaurant & Bar, and Tidepools onsite spa and wellness center with daily wellness classes and “adventure coaches” to help you get the most out of your visit. For larger groups, rent one of the 18 adjacent cottages, two- and three-bedroom condo-style homes with full access to the Lodge’s amenities. Looking for something a little bit like camping, but without the cold toes or the inevitable tent pole fumble? Across the street, Hart’s Camp offers tricked-out Airstream trailers with private fenced yards, fire pits, barbeques, and bicycles included with every stay.

Headlands Coastal Lodge & Spa features 33 oceanfront guestrooms and a collection of 18 two- and three-bedroom cottages. Here, getting outside is easy—hiking, biking, surfing, and fishing are all right outside—but swanky guest rooms and supremely comfortable amenities make staying in just as tempting.

Dory Captain Mark Lytle kills the motor and points across the choppy surface of Nestucca Bay. “There, see behind that brush?” he asks. “There’s an egret over there.” I gaze across the water, and sure enough, I see a flash of white moving behind a thicket of alder and snowberry. Then, flushed out by another, smaller bird, the flash hops into the air and resolves into an enormous, cranelike creature as it hops its way towards a more peaceful roost. If it were to ask me, I’d tell it that just over that rise to the north, there’s a place designed to unwind even the most uptight personalities: Headlands Coastal Lodge & Spa. Before boarding the dory just a few minutes ago, I’d been happily simmering in a steaming hot bath in my room at Headlands, complete with eucalyptus bath salts

and a mug of peppermint tea from Portland tea maker Steven Smith. Headlands had thoughtfully left a book by the side of the tub called, How to Split Wood, Shuck an Oyster, and Master Other Simple Pleasures. I’m not sure about splitting wood, but I can tell you that soaking in hot water while watching the turbulent ocean pummel the base of Haystack Rock outside the window is a simple pleasure I’d be happy to dedicate 10,000 hours to in pursuit of true mastery. But that’s Pacific City: everywhere you look, there are pleasures to be had. This small community on the Oregon coast is just two hours’ drive from Portland, but the perpetually drippy slopes of the Coast Range seem to provide an insurmountable barrier to the buzzing, bustling, frenetic action of Oregon’s

largest city. And if you ask the locals, that’s exactly how they like it. “You can really embark on a serious love affair with the ocean,” says Mark, as he pilots the boat towards the mouth of Nestucca Bay, where the open ocean sends turbulent surf crashing in. “I just love being out here.” Captain Lytle has been offering charter fishing tours, birding trips, and other sundry types of sailor-for-hire services for the past 18 years. It’s long enough to have developed some strong opinions. Many of his guests love seeing bald eagles, but he thinks of them as more like raccoons with wings, pests that get into garbage and harass other wildlife. The humble surf scooter and bufflehead, however, are birds of great

Meridian inside Headlands Coastal Lodge & Spa offers brunch, lunch, dinner, and drinks seven days a week. Look for fresh seafood dishes like Dungeness crab agnolotti with preserved lemon and dulse (a kind of seaweed), or Oregon black cod served with parsnip puree and black truffles. For a more casual setting, Pelican Brewing Company offers an upscale selection of pub favorites with a coastal twist, like Pacific Northwest cioppino or steamed clams with fresh herbs accompanied by bread made from spent grains.

PLAY Get out on the water with Captain Mark Lytle at Pacific City Fishing. Daylong charters can be built around fishing for salmon, halibut, ling cod, and crab, or you can leave the rods at home and take a spin around Nestucca Bay for worldclass birding. Don’t miss the exhilarating climb up the dune at Cape Kiwanda, where you can scan the horizon for Dory boats and humpback whales. To recover, schedule a rejuvenating massage or facial at Tidepools Spa, then top it off with a soak in the outdoor hot tub.

GETTING THERE Located in south Tillamook County, Pacific City is less than a two-hour drive from Portland, and even closer to Salem. More Info at: www.pacificcity.org

esteem, at least in Mark’s eyes. “They’re not bullies, like eagles,” he laughs. “And buffleheads are just so dang pretty when they fly across the water like that.” To starboard, a flock of buffleheads dances above the surface of the bay, moving so quickly they look like little more than a streak of high-contrast black-and-white plumage. Originally, our Headland’s Adventure Coach had planned for Mark to take us out into the Pacific via the surfside launch the dory fleet is famous for. But 14’ waves are just too high, even for an intrepid sailor like Mark, so we called an audible and decided to try our hand at crabbing in the calmer, more protected waters of Nestucca Bay. We struck out—six pots revealed just two skittering crabs, both far too small

to keep—but the hundreds of birds we saw were more than enough of a consolation prize.

robust community of resident and nesting birds, including a major winter colony of Aleutian Cackling geese.

One of the reasons Pacific City is such a good place to get outside is its unique geography. The town itself sits on a spit of land flanked by Nestucca Bay to the east and the Pacific Ocean to the west. Just north of town, the most famous local landmark, Cape Kiwanda, projects from the coast at a near-perpendicular angle. Over the millennia, this stunning sandstone cape has not only been sculpted by the elements, it’s actually influenced the landscape around it, providing protection from the battering sea that has allowed the basalt sea stack called Chief Kiawanda Rock, or Haystack Rock, to remain standing proud. It’s also home to a

I’d had the chance to get up close and personal with some Aleutian Cacklers earlier that morning. Summoning my most intrepid spirit, I dragged myself out of a very comfortable bed at Headlands well before dawn, strapped on my best rain gear, and headed out for an early-morning climb of the sand dune on the south side of Cape Kiwanda. From the beach, the dune looked impossibly vertical, but up close it turned into a steep yet eminently do-able 10-minute climb. Huffing and puffing, I arrived at the top to see a huge V-shaped flock of Aleutian Cacklers peel off their nighttime roost on Chief Kiawanda Rock and fly directly

over my head on their way to their feeding pastures near Nestucca Bay. Breakfast was on my mind, too. After a beautiful, breezy moment at the crest of the dune, I headed back down the hill towards Meridian, Headlands’ in-house bar and restaurant. Twenty minutes later, I was tucking into a plate of smoked salmon benedict draped with dill-caraway hollandaise and accompanied by a salad of local greens. “I think of our style as technically precise comfort food,” says Executive Chef Andrew Garrison, formerly of The Allison Inn & Spa. “I want it to look nice and clean and inviting on the plate.” Meridian’s menu rotates weekly, depending on the season, and features local vegetables, meats, and seafood as well as wild and foraged ingredi-

Season scallops with kosher salt. In two large saute pans over high heat, bring canola oil to smoke point, gently place four scallops in each pan. Reduce heat to medium-high. When you start to see golden around the edge, place the pans in the oven. Cook about 4 minutes or to desired doneness. Return to burner on high heat. Add 1 smashed clove garlic, 2 sprigs thyme, 1 sprig rosemary, 3T unsalted butter. Allow butter to melt and foam. Flip over the scallops and baste with a large spoon. Then quickly remove from pan to a towel-lined plate. While scallops are in the oven, glaze (butter with a splash of water or chicken stock) sunchokes and cauliflower, season with fresh shallot, fines herbes (minced parsley/shallot/tarragon), lemon juice.

ASSEMBLY

Place two scallops on each warm plate, scatter sunchokes and cauliflower around them, sprinkle pomegranate and herb salad. With a microplane, grate a generous amount of Oregon Black Truffle over the tops of the scallops.

ents. The bar follows the same cues, showcasing beer, wine, and spirits from around the Northwest. “I can’t imagine living anywhere else,” Mary Jones, co-founder of Headlands Coastal Lodge & Spa, tells me over glasses of Walla Walla Syrah at the Meridian bar that night. She flips through some photos on her phone in search of several shots of a family of raccoons she’d observed from her kayak earlier that week.

Mary and her husband and co-founder, Jeff Schons, arrived in Pacific City in the 1990s and fell in love with the peace, quiet, and natural beauty of this little stretch of the coast. In 1996, they found themselves talked into purchasing a dilapidated restaurant right on the beach. After some discussion, they decided that what the space really needed to be was not a restaurant after all, but one of those new-fangled micro-breweries that were starting to pop

up over the hill in Portland. And so, Jeff and Mary’s first hospitality venture, the award-winning Pelican Brewing Company, was born. Today, Pelican has expanded throughout the state, adding a pub in Cannon Beach and a production facility in Tillamook. Yet I’d wager real money that their original Pacific City brewpub has the best view of any brewery in the nation, if not the world. The experience of tucking into a frosty pint of Kiwanda

Cream Ale while gazing at the beer’s namesake directly outside the windows is enough to send even the most jaded lifelong Oregonian into gibbering fits of happiness, and it’s probably responsible for a not-insignificant percentage of recent transplants’ decision to migrate to the Beaver State. Heck, if the Aleutian Cacklers are willing to travel 2,000 miles to get to Pacific City, you know the place is special.

JAMES BEARD AWARD-WINNING CHEFS GREG DENTON AND GABRIELLE QUIÑÓNEZ DENTON ARE KNOWN FOR UPENDING

EXPECTATIONS WITH THEIR EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH TO FAMILIAR DISHES. BUT AT THEIR NEWEST RESTAURANT, BISTRO

AGNES, THEY’RE TAKING THEIR CUES FROM TRADITION, USING CENTURIES-OLD RECIPES TO CRAFT FRENCH BISTRO CLASSICS THAT DELIVER ROMANCE, ELEGANCE, AND SOUL-SATISFYING DELICIOUSNESS.

Salade Lyonnaise

Recipe by Executive Chefs Greg Denton & Gabrielle Quiñónez Denton, Bistro Agnes

SALADE LYONNAISE FRISÉE AUX LARDONS (yields 4 large salads)

BRIOCHE CROUTONS 4 Slices brioche bread, cut ¾” thick, crusts removed 4 T Butter, melted

VINAIGRETTE

Pinch of kosher salt

2 T Finely diced shallot

Pinch freshly ground pepper

1/2 cup Sherry vinegar

½ lb Bacon, cut into lardons (large chunks)

Pinch freshly ground pepper Kosher salt 1 cup Extra virgin olive oil

4 cups Cleaned frisée 8 cups Cleaned escarole leaves, torn into pieces 4 ea Poached eggs 2 T Thinly sliced chives

PortraitMagazine.com

METHOD To make the vinaigrette base, place the shallots and the sherry vinegar in a small non-reactive pot and bring to a simmer. Add one teaspoon of kosher salt and the black pepper, stir to dissolve, then remove from the heat and add the olive oil. To make the croutons, preheat oven to 300 degrees F. Cut the bread into ¾” cubes and toss together with the melted butter and the salt. Spread croutons out on a baking sheet and place in oven. Cook until toasted and golden brown on the outside and crunchy on the inside. Remove from the oven and cool to room temperature. Place the frisée, escarole, and brioche croutons in a large bowl and set aside. Place the bacon lardons in a medium non-reactive saucepan and warm over medium heat. Once the bacon starts to render fat and brown on the outside, remove from the heat and add the vinaigrette. Place back on heat until it lightly warms then pour half of the vinaigrette and all the bacon lardons over the greens. Toss together and taste for seasoning. Adjust salad by adding more of the vinaigrette and/or more salt and black pepper if necessary. Once dressed to your liking, divide the greens, the bacon, and the croutons between four large bowls. Place the warm poached eggs on top of the salads and garnish with chives then serve.

LAST YEAR WAS A GOOD ONE for husband and wife chefs and restaurateurs Greg Denton and Gabrielle Quiñónez Denton, owners and founders of the award-winning Ox restaurant in North Portland’s BoiseEliot neighborhood. They published their first cookbook—Around the Fire, a game-changing grilling guide to transform your backyard into a South American asador—and then they picked up the Best Chef Northwest prize at the 2017 James Beard Awards. Many would rest on their laurels, but not Greg and Gabrielle. Instead, in January 2018, they unveiled their latest project: Bistro Agnes, a classic French bistro in Portland’s bustling West End to replace their previous restaurant, SuperBite. Bistro Agnes takes its name from Greg’s paternal grandmother, an accomplished cook and host who made everyone feel at home around the table. “What I learned about hospitality I learned from her,” says Greg. “She was so kind, so giving, but she also knew how to have a good time, too.” It’s a departure from their previous restaurants. Theatrical Ox dishes up Argentine-inspired dishes with a Portland twist from a dramatic central wood fired grill. The now-closed SuperBite offered an eclectic menu of quirky, high-impact dishes drawing on influences ranging from Hawaiian plate lunch to the Michelin-starred eateries of Napa. But Bistro Agnes is much easier to describe. It’s a classic Parisian bistro, full stop. “When people ask, ‘What is Bistro Agnes?’ I tell them they’re already halfway there. It’s a French bistro. It’s exactly what you think it is,” says Greg. “And we can’t wait to share these classic dishes with everyone.” The concept might be more traditional than Greg and Gabrielle’s past projects, but they say the focus on technique and heritage that underpins classic French food has always been part of their culinary lives. “I’ve worked in several French restaurants, and it’s kind of my base when it comes to my cooking,” says Greg. “I always pull from French cuisine no matter what I’m doing.”

“We both feel a certain confidence in cooking this style of food,” says Gabrielle. “It has always interested both of us, even before we met. We’ve played with some more modern techniques, and while that’s great, we missed cooking this way. Some of these recipes are hundreds of years old.” For Americans, French cuisine has served as shorthand for luxury and fine dining for generations. Yet at its heart, French food is comfort food, and Bistro Agnes is a supremely comfortable restaurant. Dark blue-black and teal walls, brass hardware, and low-backed leather booths lit by high-hanging glass globes give the room a secure, confident coziness, the interior equivalent of a perfect cashmere sweater.

rich jus beneath the steak. “There’s something about taking that first bite of our steak frites. When you dip it into the béarnaise sauce, it really transports you to Paris,” Gabrielle says. Bistro Agnes’ devotion to making guests feel at home extends even to the wine list, where Burgundy and Oregon pinot noir get top billing but Bordeaux, the Rhone, and even northern Italy, Austria, and Spain make an appearance, too. Mercifully for those of us who struggle to remember which grapes make up which French wines, the list features varietal alongside provenance, and offers a good range of glass pours as well as an extensive bottle list. A wide-ranging selection includes fantastic everyday bottles like Brooks’ 2016 “Runaway Red” pinot noir from the Eola-Amity Hills AVA, to special-occasion splurges like Châteaux Pinchon-Lalande’s 2006 Deuxième Grand Cru Classé from Pauillac, the same AOC that gives the world Latour and Lafite Rothschild. We savored a lively, food-friendly Domaine Bonhomme Gamay noir from the Loire Valley while a chatty table of sommeliers next to us took a deep dive into some of the more obscure bottles on the menu, including an extra-brut cider from Calvados.

The menu, too, reassures, playing the greatest hits of bistro fare. Dishes like onion soup gratinée and pork pâté feel retro yet timely, and classics like duck confit, pork belly, and Toulouse sausage cassoulet built on a foundation of silky white beans promise that unmistakable savor imparted by long, slow, attentive time in the kitchen. “We take great pride in taking the time to properly braise a beef bourguignon or coq au vin,” says Gabi. “As well as the opportunity we have to share these techniques with the cooks we work with. It’s exciting for them as well.” When we visited, our meal began with a sculptural roasted beet salad studded with hazelnuts, tarragon leaves, and juicy orange supremes, then capped off with a perfectly spherical chèvre croquette, crispy outside, unctuous within. A Belgian endive salad layered crunchy candied walnuts and pungent Fourme d’Ambert blue cheese over plush, juicy slivers of icewhite endive, a light-handed combination of bitter, sweet, and crisp to prepare the palate for richer dishes to come. For those of you still pining over the loss of SpaghettiOs, SuperBite’s beloved pasta dish featuring tiny O-shaped pasta in a buttery truffled sauce, never fear; it makes a reprise underneath roasted chicken breast accented with an enlivening chive, dill, and parsley herb salad. “SpaghettiOs were originally inspired by a traditional French dish, macaronis aux truffes, so it just made sense to bring it onto the new menu,” says Gabrielle. Classic Steak Frites (rib eye, the night we visited) arrives accompanied by a sidecar of béarnaise sauce and a tangle of peppery undressed watercress. Thin-cut frites have ample crunch to stand up to bathing in the

Within each varietal category, Gabrielle explains that the wines are arranged in order from lighter at the top, to heavier and richer at the bottom, allowing customers to make connections between old and new world styles. “If you’re coming in with four people and you have room for two bottles of pinot noir, you could go head-to-head on similarly bodied wines and really get the chance to appreciate the distinctions and similarities,” Gabrielle says. The cocktail menu also displays a distinctly Francophone bent, with Armagnac, Calvados, and absinthe playing a central role. “I think a good bar program quietly sets the stage for an unforgettable meal,” says bar manager Beau Burtnick. “And French spirits are quite good for exactly that purpose. I’ve always liked showcasing absinthe in particular. I love its complex harmony of herbal flavors and textures, and it’s accompanied by a very compelling history.” When it was time for dessert, we tucked into tiny snifters of Calvados, an aged apple (and sometimes pear) brandy from the Normandy region of France, alongside crème brûlée topped with Armagnac-soaked prunes and a malted chocolate mousse studded with crunchy pastry pearls and a cloud of Chantilly whipped cream. It’s a perfect pairing, the warm fruitiness of the Calvados slicing through the richness of the desserts like a Laguiole knife, and before I knew it, my spoon was scraping the bottom of the ramekin despite my protestations of being “too full” just minutes before. Greg says their ultimate goal for Bistro Agnes is to bring diners that same warmth, comfort, and good cheer reminiscent of what he and Gabrielle have found in their favorite Parisian bistros. Walking out into the cold, rainy evening fortified with truffles and Calvados, I felt replenished with enough comfort and good cheer to last a week. Bistro Agnes is open daily for lunch, 11 am to 2 pm; and dinner, 5 pm to 10 pm Sunday to Thursday, 5 pm to 11 pm Friday and Saturday. 527 SW 12th Avenue, Portland, Oregon. 503-222-0979. www.bistroagnes.com

in a small pot with the thyme leaves, salt, and pepper. Once melted, toss the bread slices in a large bowl with the thyme butter and then place the bread on a baking sheet. Toast in the oven until golden brown then remove and set aside to cool. To make the soup, melt the butter in a large, heavy stainless steel pot then add the onions and a tablespoon of salt. Cook, stirring frequently, until softened, being careful to avoid burning (about 6 minutes). Reduce the heat to medium and cook until the mixture begins to brown and stick to the pot. Using a wooden spoon, stir vigorously, scraping up as much as you can off the bottom of the pot. Pour in the brandy to deglaze, stirring to help loosen up the brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Continue cooking until the onion begins to stick and grow darker, and deglaze with ¼ cup of the white wine. Continue cooking and deglazing until the onion turns a uniform dark caramel color, 20 to 30 minutes total. If the onions still need more color but you’ve already gone through all the wine, deglaze with additional water. Add chicken stock then bring to a simmer, skimming off any foam with a ladle. Simmer for 15 minutes then add the thyme sprigs and the black pepper. Simmer for 5 minutes more, then taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Remove the pot from the heat and let sit for at least 20 to 30 minutes to help the flavors to develop. Discard the thyme sprigs. Preheat broiler to high. Bring the soup back up to a simmer then divide between four heat-resistant bowls. Float two of the thyme croutons on top of each soup and then cover generously with grated gruyere. Place in the broiler and heat until the cheese is melted and beginning to brown. Carefully remove the bowls from the broiler, place on a small plate, and serve.

ARCHITECTURE IS A LITTLE BIT LIKE YOGA: IT’S ALL ABOUT BALANCE. THIS NEW CONTEMPORARY HOME IN SEATTLE’S MAGNOLIA NEIGHBORHOOD FOLLOWS THE RULES OF A GREAT OUTFIT AND MIXES LUXURIES AND BASICS FOR HOME THAT HITS THE BULL’S-EYE: HIGH-END AND ON-BUDGET.

MAGNOLIA HOUSE written by MARGARETT WATERBURY photography by LARA SWIMMER

SHOPPING FOR A NEW HOUSE OF CAN BE ONE OF THE MOST EXCITING episodes in a person’s life – or, it can be a series of disappointments. When these homeowners started shopping for a new home in 2015, tour after tour left something to be desired. “It was just a feeling that nothing was quite right,” says the homeowner. “Plus, we love Magnolia. I’ve lived in this neighborhood since 2005. So finding something that’s just right in a specific neighborhood you love is even harder.” Fortunately for the homeowners, their real estate agent, Mike Masterson, was also a homebuilder. His company, Mint Build, specializes in infill single family projects in core Seattle neighborhoods. After searching fruitlessly together for an existing home, Mike suggested maybe the answer wasn’t looking at more properties, but rather designing the perfect property and building it from scratch. Once they found the perfect site, a pancake-flat parcel near the top of the Magnolia hill, Mike and the homeowners knew it was time to find an architect. After interviewing several potential options they met with architect Jill Rerucha, and immediately knew they’d found their partner. The budget for the project was fairly rigid, and while it offered plenty of opportunity to design something beautiful, it didn’t allow for unlimited spending. For Jill and Mint Build, that meant focusing on spending strategically to add value in high-impact areas while economizing on components that offered less bang for the buck. “I like to say that a house is like an outfit,” says Jill. “It doesn’t need to be all Prada. You can mix Prada with the Gap. It’s all about impact to dollar and the value that you add. Sure, you could buy the $1,200 German faucet, but does it add as much value as investing in the stairs, for instance, which they will experience every day?” Together, Jill and the homeowners worked to establish a contemporary yet warm aesthetic. “These homeowners have a modern but also classic taste,” says Jill. “So we worked to combine those elements. The structure and space is open, airy, and lofty, with a very modern feel. But the kitchen is a bit more traditional, with panelized cabinets, a stone backsplash, and grid windows.” One of the areas where the impact of spending strategically is most noticeable is the staircase, which combines more complex and costly open hardwood treads with simple, inexpensive slotted windows for a lovely focal point in the home. “I tried to create a beautiful stair in an enclosed space, and that meant floating treads,” explains Jill. On the landing, she created a series of slotted windows strategically placed to “slice through” the neighborhood views. “Reframing the view as slices was more interesting than looking out a big, broad window at rooftops,” says Jill. “You can see the water tower through one of the slices, which is weird and cool. It almost looks like a Picasso painting.” One of the homeowners is also a committed yoga practitioner, so Jill designed a top-floor yoga studio dedicated to daily practice. To create enough ceiling clearance so the homeowner could easily stand on their hands while also complying with neighborhood height restrictions was a challenge Jill solved by installing a skylight. Windows on one side can be opened completely to let the outdoors in, or practice can be moved entirely outside. “He loves it,” says the homeowner. “He’s up there practicing every day.” The kitchen also showcases what can be gained by spending strategically. Instead of commissioning custom cabinetry, Jill created a system using premade cabinets and meticulously aligning them with the dimensions of the house. That saved enough money to splurge on a marble wall behind the range, which creates a beautiful view when viewed from the outdoors.

Cooking and hosting friends is a big part of these homeownersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; lives. The kitchen was designed to maximize flow and natural light to transform time spent cooking into a true pleasure. Simple lines and neutral tones give this room a calm feel, but smoked glass pendant lights add a touch of vintage flair.

THIS PAGE The modest amount of space dedicated to the stair well could have felt hemmed in and claustrophobic with an enclosed staircase, so Jill designed an open-tread stair system to keep the space feeling light and airy. Narrow windows on the landing offer peekaboo views of the surrounding neighborhood and skyline. FACING PAGE A crisp, clean-lined fireplace with a cantilevered honed quartz slab hearth anchors an open dining and living room layout.

Likewise, Jill counseled the homeowners that it was worth the extra cost to use high-end windows on the front face of the house that’s visible from the street. “They change the street appeal and they’re seen from all over the house,” says Jill. “So that totally adds value.” On the other sides of the house not visible from the street, the team used less expensive windows. “Mike and Jill worked so well together,” says the homeowner. “They reached what could have been a challenging balance of real architectural beauty in a solid structure that was as affordable as we needed it to be. They helped us figure out where we could invest our money and where we could conserve, and I think they achieved a really beautiful outcome.” “I love how the living area and the kitchen turned out,” says Mike. “It’s this forward, modern design, but when you’re inside the home, it feels so comfortable and so connected with the lot. It is really an inside-out house; you feel the presence of outdoors everywhere you step on the inside.” “We love it,” says the homeowner. “The space is so bright, even on rainy days. The light flows in in such a cheerful way, I don’t even have to turn the lights on. We feel very lucky.” PortraitMagazine.com

FOR PETER BRACHVOGEL OF BC&J ARCHITECTURE OF SEATTLE, THE 2014-16 MAKEOVER OF THIS 1931 NORMAN-STYLE HOME WAS A SECOND TIME AROUND, AND A FIRST-TIME COLLABORATION WITH INTERIOR DESIGNER TAYLOR OGLE OF TAYLOR ANNE INTERIORS IN SANTA BARBARA, WHO WAS INTIMATELY AWARE OF THE HOME’S SHORTCOMINGS HAVING SPENT HER TEENAGE YEARS THERE.

ISLAND MAKEOVER written by DONNA PIZZI

OPENING SPREAD Brachvogel expanded the portico to protect the entry from weather. The New Traditionalists chest makes a stylistic statement. THIS PAGE Ogle’s custom bed features de Le Cuona embossed linen (Casablanca Mist).

IN 1931, WHEN THIS BAINBRIDGE ISLAND NORMAN-STYLE HOME was first constructed from lumber milled locally at the historic Port Blakely Lumber Company, its front door faced Manzanita Bay, where Mosquito Fleet steamers were the sole means of transportation between the island and the mainland. Sixty-three years later, architect Peter Brachvogel, AIA, was hired to remodel the home that sits on eight luscious acres of forested parkland, that include rustic trails, an apple orchard and a small vineyard. Brachvogel’s first step in 1994, was to adjust the traffic patterns within the house on its axis so circulation led toward the re-oriented front door that now faces the driveway, rather than guests erroneously entering the home through its back door or being forced to circle the house to locate the front door with their backs to the waterfront. “We reorganized the spatial character of the home,” recalls Brachvogel, “and developed the terraces that to this day look out upon the water.” Flash forward twenty years to 2014, when the same homeowner hired Brachvogel, at the request of his new real estate savvy wife, who knew the resale value of adding a master bedroom on the main level, with a terrace overlooking the bay. This time Brachvogel was joined by her daughter, Santa Barbara interior designer Taylor Ogle of Taylor Anne Interiors, who understood the home’s strengths and deficiencies first-hand, not only having grown up in it during her teen years, but also having shared her vision for it with her mother, who used to bring her along on job sites as a kid and grill her about the processes of construction. “Her idea was to make it more contemporary, and then age it back so it didn’t look sleek and modern – right off the shelf,” adds her mother. Inspired by homes in Montecito, California, which feature gridded Portella steel windows and doors, Ogle suggested they replace the original Douglas fir windows and doors with the same steel variety. Brachvogel agreed, citing how the 900 lb. windows and doors added texture and richness to the two-story façade. What began as a simple addition, however, soon morphed into a complete update that took the home down to its studs, owing, in part, to the ravages of the Pacific Northwest’s weather that had cracked the classic stucco exterior, causing structural rot.

Traditional details like turned wood legs on furniture, a crisp neutral-and-navy color scheme, and preppy, grosgrain-inspired trim on upholstery gives the living room a very classic, comfortable feel. FACING PAGE White walls and a white fireplace and mantel further brighten the living and dining room, already illuminated by a full window wall that lets in abundant life.

Brachvogel calls the take down both a “crisis and an opportunity.” “We were able to address construction anomalies that were implemented in 1931, by bringing the building up to current code, since construction requirements had changed since then and the first remodel in 1994, as well as stabilize the building for lateral loads, and pick up deflective floors that were over-spanned back in 1931.” For Ogle, the challenge was primarily trying to marry her parents’ aesthetics, which were, at times, polar opposites. “The difficulty was to combine the traditional East Coast aesthetic my step-father preferred with the tranquil and modern style my mother gravitated toward.”

In the end, Ogle took her palette from her stepfather’s collection of family heirloom paintings, as well as the waterfront surroundings. “Taylor understood what was antiquated about the house but could visualize where it needed to go. She was bold enough to take on the job, which isn’t often easy,” says her mother. “She also didn’t let me sway from her vision. If I was wrong, she told me she didn’t think that would be a good design idea.” Brachvogel provided his own brand of aesthetic to the mix. “The main house was about historic preservation, being sensitive to the context and settling into the site,” he says. “To preserve the character of the architecture in the addition, we designed a sunlit link with windows on both sides that leads from the main building to the 1200 sq. ft. master bedroom, which includes a generous master bath, dual vanities, laundry and large closet.” PortraitMagazine.com

For many years, a favorite fir tree stood in the way of the couple building an addition in its place, simply because Ogle’s stepfather could not bear to part with it. Once the decision was made to remove it, the perfect solution was, he said, to transform it into a dining table for the breakfast room. “We bleached it five times to make it blonde,” says Ogle, who applauds her stepfather for suggesting a way to create a fond, lasting memory of his favorite tree. The kitchen design is an amalgam of mother and daughter’s visions. “I had decorated over the years in lots of classic ways, but I was tired of it,” says her mother. “That’s why the kitchen shelves are open rather than the usual enclosed upper cabinets. I didn’t want all the cumbersome, traditional ways. I’d had a whole lifetime of that.” Accordingly, Ogle and Brachvogel created clean lines throughout the kitchen, framing the refrigerator rectilinearly in the same wood found in the island and cabinetry elsewhere in the house. Custom walnut barstools contrast with cool blue upholstered Holly Hunt leather seats with nailhead trim.Perhaps the greatest bonus from the makeover, was replacing the standard fir French doors, windows and wood trim with the steel windows and doors.

“It was a challenge to retrofit a house of this age with the steel,” says Ogle’s mother. However, when Brachvogel suggested removing the wood trim and heavily troweled, swirly wall and ceiling finishes that she found so claustrophobic, it opened up the house enormously. “I’d never paid much attention to the view out front,” she says, “because the fir trim had sucked up all the light and encroached on the level of glass. Once the wood trim was gone, we gained 30” of glass that opened up the view.”

The floors were also replaced. “We worked hard to make the new floors resemble dry driftwood,” she says. “We used multiple applications of a Dutch Product called Skylt Matt Finish that give the floors a custom White Oak European finish.” After graduating from The Fashion Institute of Los Angeles in Interior Design and Business Management, Ogle worked for a designer in Montecito, California, for seven years to source and select LA furnishings PortraitMagazine.com

for her clients. Now that she has her own interior design firm of 4 years, Ogle can easily call on her well-established coterie of resources from across the nation. A favorite is The New Traditionalists to which Ogle turned for the family’s entry piece - their “Credenza,” which was designed in New York City and handmade in New England, using North American Black Walnut. “I love sourcing from artisans both locally and around the world to procure the most unique selections for my clients,” says Ogle, “such as de Le Cuona, Inc., a London-based company, whose fabrics I used to finish the custom master bed, draperies, sheers and wool pillows.” To finish the look, she chose a Rosemary Hallgarten alpaca rug manufactured from very soft Peruvian alpaca wool, which is hypo-allergenic. She often mixes clients’ heirloom antique pieces with their modern counterparts. An upstairs bedroom which features the only remaining, original arch-topped French fir door that opens onto a front balcony, takes on a retro English look, thanks to utilizing her grandmother’s bench and an original chair both newly upholstered with velvet fabrics by Mark Alexander. Ann Sacks carries the handmade floor tile by New Ravenna used in the new master bath and vanity area, which is manufactured in Exmore, Virginia. “They laid out each piece of our choice of three different marbles on big boards in their foundry,” says her mother. All the upstairs bathrooms, which had free-standing sinks without storage, were updated. The layout of the four upstairs bedrooms is unchanged from the original floorplan, which the family still has, along with its history. Brachvogel says the original house was fashioned after a Chicago architect’s interpretation of American Norman-style design. Ogle worked closely with her family to create unique living room furnishings that would fit their specific needs. The sofa and daybed are her custom designs made using luxurious mohair fabric and velvet, textures that truly warm up the room.

Brachvogel and Ogle implemented rift white oak beams with custom stain to both reinforce the second floor and offer an illusion of elevation to the otherwise standard ceiling. The rhythm of their placement helps to draw the eye out toward the raised terrace that overlooks the bay. With the addition of the steel sash windows and doors and the elimination of all the wood trim and crown molding, the rooms feel bigger. “It feels as if you’re viewing everything through a magnifying glass,” agree Ogle and Brachvogel. The longer-than-expected construction period was tough on everyone, especially husband and wife who had to rent a neighbors’ upstairs floor while the house was being deconstructed. One of the main reasons BC&J Architecture had to stabilize the building was decades of weather erosion decaying the structure behind the stucco exterior surface. “Stucco installed in 1931, being a cement-based product,” explains Brachvogel, “doesn’t flex but rather cracks, which, in turn, allows moisture to migrate behind the material and rot the underlying sheathing. In the event of a strong wind or earthquake, the weakened frame of the building may rack, deform and become dangerous.” When Brachvogel encouraged the homeowners to extend the use of the new steel sash windows and doors up through the second floor as well, it led to the updating of the exterior stucco as well. “American Norman architecture,” explains Brachvogel, “is very planer, rectilinear.” Thus, his decision to specify a flexible, hard trowel finish of the new stucco exterior. Copper gutters and flashing play off the steel sills, adding to the clean style. “Peter Brachvogel did a wonderful job with the addition and incorporating the steel windows and doors, which the architecture called for,” says Ogle. Despite the difficulties endured during the restoration, the changes in the house, once completed, were an across-the-board people pleaser.” “Yes,” says her mother. “My husband tells me it’s beautiful and is enjoying the way it’s living. Now, it’s become the new normal!”

LEFT The back of the house was reoriented in 1994 to provide lush views of the water from the living areas. For the 2016 restoration, Brachvogel raised the door cassettes up a notch to prevent the friendly family dog, who greeted him each morning, from opening the doors. A crisp, hard troweled stucco Norman style exterior was also a clear mandate.

PortraitMagazine.com

THE INN AT ABEJA - WALLA WALLA Abeja and its eight lodging options offer a Walla Walla Valley wine country experience that ranks among the best on the West Coast. Portland businessman Ken Harrison and wife, Ginger, purchased their farm in 2000 after having stayed at what was then known as Mill Creek Inn, a property with a history that stretches back to 1863. To create Abeja, the Spanish word for bee and pronounced “ah-BAY-hah,” the Harrisons renovated each building and later established two vineyards, one along Mill Creek. They launched their label with the 2001 vintage, and acclaim for Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay came almost immediately. The Harrisons create such a hospitable climate that they’ve worked with just two winemaking teams. John Abbott left in 2015 to make Pinot Noir in the Willamette Valley, handing Abeja off to Daniel Wampfler of Dunham Cellars fame and wife Amy Alvarez-Wampfler, who shined at Sinclair Estate Vineyards. The Inn at Abeja affords privacy, yet the peaceful grounds create opportunities for guests to meet, starting in the farmhouse with a breakfast of Lemon Souffle Pancakes and Walla Walla Sweet Onion Quiche. An hour after breakfast, there is the first of three available wine tastings, which are exclusive to guests. They can purchase Abeja wines and can have them shipped to 30 states. For those using Alaska Airlines, a case of Abeja flies free. Amenities include in-room spa services provided by a licensed massage therapist, and Abeja also works with two wine tour agencies. Make sure the driver swings into nearby Klicker Berries and Antiques for local produces. Abeja describes itself as “an adult get-a-way with a working winery.” As a result, children under the age of 13 are not encouraged, and only one option on the estate is pet-friendly. Rates range from $325 to $1,500 per night. www.abeja.net

ALEXANDRIA NICOLE CELLARS - ALDERDALE At Alexandria “Ali” Nicole Boyle deserves credit with developing glamorous camping, aka “glamping,” in Washington wine country. It took root a decade ago with her tastefully appointed wall tents within her family’s 267-acre Destiny Ridge Vineyard, which offers panoramic views of both the Columbia River and the Horse Heaven Hills. Her touches are felt throughout the brand she established in 2001 with her winemaking/grower husband, Jarrod, and they’ve transitioned from tents to 400-square-foot dwellings in 2015. Construction of two of the “tiny houses” was profiled on HGTV. All are within view of The Estate at Destiny Ridge, a luxurious three-story castle visible from Oregon. The Horse Heaven Hills are home to about 20 percent of Washington’s vineyards, but there are no tourist amenities beyond these tiny houses. Furnishings include a wine chiller, private toilet and queen bed. The Jet Black House features an in-suite tap for one of ANC’s popular keg wines. While the Boyles sell their 23 varieties of grapes to some of the Northwest’s top winemakers, Jarrod’s own juice earned him Wine Press Northwest magazine’s award for Washington Winery of the Year 2011. Five years later, his 2013 A Squared Cabernet Sauvignon, a second label, earned best of class at the 17th annual Platinum Judging. Jarrod grew up in Prosser and learned from industry leaders such as Wade Wolfe, Paul Champoux, David Minick and the Mercer family, so the critical acclaim for ANC wines comes as no surprise. Glamping at ANC runs $250 for weekends, $200 weekdays, and includes a wine tasting. Alas, it’s not easy to make a reservation. Ali’s 4,000-member wine club dominates reservations from May through October for these four tony cottages, which have their own URL of anctinyhouses.com

CAVE B INN & SPA RESORT - GORGE In 1983, Seattle neurosurgeon Vince Bryan and his wife, Carole, staged a concert for 1,200 people in a natural amphitheater to celebrate the launch of Champs de Brionne, their winery that used grapes from their young vines nearby. Within a decade, the Bryans stopped making wine and sold the Gorge Amphitheater. But they held onto the vineyard praised by esteemed winemaker Andre Tchelistcheff. Their plantings now span 100 acres as part of the Ancient Lakes of Columbia Valley, an American Viticultural Area viewed as one of the Northwest’s prime growing regions, particularly for stylish and vibrant white wines.

Some of the world’s most recognized recording artists unwind during concert season at Cave B Estate Winery and the adjacent Cave B Inn & Spa Resort – a destination built by the Bryans. The award-winning winery is led by Alfredo Arredondo, their winemaking son-in-law. There’s no need to dine anywhere other than Tendrils, a stone's throw away for most staying on the estate. Arredondo, a chef who trained in Italy, left the kitchen for Walla Walla Community College’s winemaking school, and his food-friendly wines such as Barbera, Roussanne and Sauvignon Blanc complement Tendrils’ cuisine because of their natural acidity and tamed alcohol. The Spa at Sagecliffe offers treatments that incorporate juice and seeds from the winemaking process, terroir components such stones and soil, and estate lavender. Four distinctive lodging experiences are available throughout the 55-room complex. Those include the individual Cliffehouses, the almost subterranean Cavern Rooms, more traditional suites at the Cave B Inn and the Desert Yurts, almost within reach of some vines. The cliff-side swimming pool is open Memorial Day to Labor Day. Rates range from $119 to $429. www.caveb.com and www.cavebinn.com

ERITAGE RESORT The decade-long dream of vintner and vineyard owner Justin Wylie comes to life this spring when the luxury Eritage Resort opens in the Walla Walla Valley. Its 10 suites, set among 300 acres of vineyards and wheat fields on the edge of the Palouse, combined with the players involved, have it positioned to be the most fascinating wine-themed lodging destination to open this decade in Washington. Wylie named the resort for the Old French word for heritage, and it fits. The founder of acclaimed Va Piano Vineyards is a fourth-generation native of Walla Walla, and he bought the Bergevin Springs Road property from another vintner with deep local roots. That was in 2007. Then came the Great Recession. California investors breathed life to Wylie’s vision by 2014, and he’s now added partners in Seattle hospitality leaders Chad Mackay and Jason Wilson. Mackay is the second generation behind the wine-focused El Gaucho restaurants and the Inn at El Gaucho. Wilson, who won the James Beard Award for Best Northwest Chef in 2010, has earned a following in Seattle and Bellevue with Crush, Miller’s Guild and The Lakehouse. Both Mackay and Wilson are principals in Fire & Vine Hospitality, which manages Eritage. Less than 10 minutes north of town along Lower Waitsburg Road and 12 minutes from the airport, Éritage Resort is dedicated to Walla Walla Valley wines (Eritage will have lots of Walla Walla Valley wines and plenty of old world wines too!) and regional ingredients. Wilson’s affinity for cooking with open flame will be apparent in the restaurant, which is intended to attract local winemakers, too. Each suite offers an in-room fireplace and a deck that opens up to a view of vines, the Blue Mountains and a manmade lake ringed by a common area for small concerts, events and weddings. Construction has begun

NEFARIOUS CELLARS - CHELAN The husband-wife winemaking team of Dean and Heather Neff spent about a decade living above their winery, looking out across the 7 acres of vines they planted and gazing upon the south shore of Lake Chelan. In 2015, they decided to transform their residence and provide the public with a quintessential Lake Chelan wine country experience. They call it simply the Winery Guest House at Nefarious Cellars. Nefarious quickly became one of the state’s cult wineries, and house guests often get the chance to meet Dean and/or Heather. Dean crafts reds. Heather dotes on the whites. Their love affair with grape vines began in 1998 near Chelan and took flight three years later in the Willamette Valley, working for premier Pinot Noir producers. By 2005, they’d moved back to the Columbia Valley, founded their winery and expanded their plantings that feature Syrah, Viognier and Riesling. Their former home is two stories and 1,800-square-foot with two bedrooms, two baths, laundry facilities and flat screen TVs. A well-appointed kitchen includes Riedel stemware and million-dollar lake view with Defiance Vineyard in between. And while their winery’s tasting room is just around the corner from the ground-floor patio, somehow the Neffs provide a reasonable level of privacy. Personal touches that hit the mark with guests include fresh-baked local cookies, locally roasted coffee and suggestions for restaurants and wineries. Pets are not allowed, but children are welcome. There is private parking area for renters with a boat, and the gate to the estate closes with the tasting room. Rates range from $275 to $375 per night, and booking is easy via VRBO. As of press time, the Neffs received a five-star rating from every reviewer in the two years of their listing. www.nefariouscellars.com

Kevin evin and Holly Brown at Siren Song have created more than a winery, but rather a French Chateau which overlooks Lakeshore Road and provides a remarkable panoramic view of Lake Chelan. And your visit to the winery can lead into something overnight. The Browns invested heavily in the Pacific Northwest wine industry in recent years with their showpiece winery, vineyard and tasting room in Chelan as well as partnering with famed Betz Family Winery on new plantings and vineyards in the Rocks District AVA of the Walla Walla Valley. Kevin, who made his mark in Seattle’s tech industry, now makes wine. His lineup includes: a Syrah, a Cabernet Franc, and two Cabernet Sauvignon

wine from their Ancient Stones estate vineyard in the Rocks District AVA, a Zinfandel off the hedonistic Stone Tree Vineyard, and a stylish Sauvignon Blanc grown in the Ancient Lakes of Columbia Valley The Browns’ own estate vineyard on the south shore of Lake Chelan spans 7 acres and includes Albariño, Chardonnay, Merlot, Syrah and the Pinot Noir that becomes The Muse - their sparkling wine. Few properties in the Northwest can rival the veritable charm bracelet of scenes and memories that await guests at Siren Song. The Browns’ expansive veranda offers afternoon tableside service of award-winning wines paired with wood-fired pizza. It’s also an ideal stage for the Browns’ winemaker dinners accompanied by live music. Holly’s cooking classes were sought after when presented in West Seattle and online at SirenintheKitchen.com. She’s brought them to their winery on Sundays for a fee of $135. This past winter, the Browns established The Villa at Siren Song, an 850-square-foot VRBO that offers a modern kitchen, two bedrooms, one bath and sleeps six within a few strides of the tasting room. Rates start at $300 per night with a two-night minimum. www.sirensongwines.com

WALLA FACES INN AT THE VINEYARD - WALLA WALLA Rick Johnson and the winery, innkeeping/vineyard operation he’s launched with his wife, Debbie, have been streamlined and undergone a facelift in the past year. That focus seems to be paying off both for guests and consumers. Walla Faces Wine, Inns and Art began a decade ago when the Johnsons purchased the Hungate Building in downtown Walla Walla on Main Street. In 1905, that building was the Walla Walla Hotel. In 2005, the Johnsons reopened it and subsequently named it Walla Faces Inn. Recently, they closed that eclectic hotel, centering their hospitality on Walla Faces Inn at the Vineyard. The constant piece for the Johnsons has been the 9-acre vineyard they purchased in 2006 along Wheat Ridge Lane. And what they dubbed as Walla Faces Estate Vineyard is now called Johnson Ridge Vineyard. This year, the winery also rebranded as Johnson Ridge, and that label gained traction almost immediately as the Johnson Ridge 2014 Estate Syrah and Johnson Ridge 2016 Estate Rosé earned gold medals at the fifth annual Walla Walla Valley Wine Competition. Credit goes to winemaker Victor de la Luz and consultant Chris Camarda of Andrew Will Winery fame, who began collaborating before the 2013 vintage. And the label that featured avant-garde portraits has been refreshed.
