LETTER

PUBLISHER Claudia M. Brown EDITOR/SENIOR ART DIRECTOR Kiki Meletis PROJECT MANAGER Karla Prater SALES REPRESENTATIVE Nicole Rummel CONTRIBUTING WRITERS Melissa Dalton Donna Pizzi Emily Zahniser

CLEARLY, HOMES HAVE BECOME OUR SANCTUARIES in the city, at the coast, Central Oregon’s High Desert, Whidbey Island and beyond. Almost overnight, priorities changed as we’ve traded long commutes for working remotely, and one couldn’t help but think, “if I’m going to spend this much time here, why not be in a home that I love?” Fortunately, some extremely talented architects and designers have embraced this evolution, delivering environments fueling both creativity and efficiency.

Hope you enjoy the exceptional spaces shared in this issue.

Corey Martin of Hacker Architects teamed with KN Visions in Bend to design and build a modern Central Oregon home that not only connects to the surrounding high desert landscape but also stands in contrast with dramatically stained Western Red Cedar and floor-to-ceiling windows to capture the seasons.

Chadbourne + Doss Architects, Land Morphology landscape architects, and Dovetail General Contractors, collaborated to create an intriguing modern Seattle home with both city views and a central courtyard, complete with a peaceful water feature.

On Whidbey Island, MW Works teamed with Kenneth Philp Landscape Architects and Dovetail General Contractors to design and build a modern, yet timeless retreat syncing with the

12

PortraitMagazine.com

landscape on a 100-acre property. The 4,420 square-foot glass home sits on the boundary between forest and farmland, yet seamlessly disappears among the mature fir trees.

Interior designer Geneva Ness thoughtfully transformed her previously bland home and kitchen into a cozy family refuge, rich with both character and soul. It was a major undertaking made easy due to her long-time working relationship and countless projects with contractor Dave Askman of Renovations Depot.

LOCATING A RARE PARCEL OF LAND ALONG the Vancouver side of the Columbia River was a godsend to this family of in-demand professionals and their three musically inclined teenage children. A bit of luck intervened when the first lot the homeowners had wanted but failed to obtain suddenly became available after a previous buyer’s deal fell through.

The site was not without its challenges, however, including height restrictions, site conditions and proximity to the BSNF Railway. Scott Benedetti, owner of Axiom Luxury Homes of Vancouver and Portland, who is a certified LEED professional known for his attention to detail, was more than qualified to handle the challenges. Benedetti, in turn, recommended James Wise of Wise Owl Plans and his lead designer Mark Wade as the right home designer for the project.

“The location is pretty special,” says Benedetti. “You don’t come across sites like this very often, and the way Wise Owl designed the home to fit onto the site is excellent.”

“While we were working with the site and height restrictions,” explains Wade, “the 17' great room ceiling limited our capability for a steeper roofline, so we encouraged them to go more modern.” Ironically, a friend of the homeowner recommended Shannon Ponciano of House of Ponce (formerly known as Ponciano Design) of Portland to assist with the interior design, who has been collaborating with Benedetti for a decade.

“Scott is such a great builder,” says Ponciano, “He’s very intentional, thoughtful about his decisions and materials. He takes his time, listens and does it right.”

Working in concert with this home designer/builder/interior designer team also allowed the homeowner to make more informed decisions. “I wanted a modern farmhouse initially,” she says, “but after working with Shannon and Hayley at House of Ponce, I realized there was a broader choice of materials with a modern design than with modern farmhouse.

It also enabled me to choose things I like, making the look more timeless.”

“As we began to show her edgier materials with high contrast and unusual textures,” recalls Ponciano, “we saw a spark and, consequently, her style began to evolve throughout the process.”

A muted palette designed to reflect the proximity to the Columbia River’s changeable waters also inspired Ponciano to add touches of warmth via brass accents in the furnishings. Dark cabinetry adds visual contrast in both the wall of dramatic kitchen cabinetry housing a roll-up appliance garage, espresso machine and refrigerator, as well as in the adjacent library/music room.

“The homeowner wanted the design to be restful to act as the family’s oasis,” says Hayley MacLeod, a lead designer at House of Ponce. “So, with the kitchen as the focal point in the great room, Shannon and I showed the homeowner renderings of a large slab kitchen wall with a huge island big enough to seat their entire family – and she loved it.”

PortraitMagazine.com

One of the main thrusts of the project was to create a light and bright feel to the home. “The clean slate of light and bright helps you to focus your eye on the ambiance of the landscape,” says Wade. Nowhere was this more prevalent than in the master bedroom, where the floor-to-ceiling windows feature soft sheers that bathe the room in a peaceful glow. Touches of brass are illuminated by unique lighting fixtures including crystal sconces and quartz chandelier.

The master bath, perhaps one of the homeowner’s most cherished rooms in the house, features a much-debated window that highlights another important design element – geometric tile. “During the framing process,” recalls Benedetti, “we had a lot of discussion about whether or not to put a window next to the tub. We discussed having a high window, none at all, or floor-to-ceiling shaded or frosted one. Rather than have the shade down all the time, we frosted it, which added privacy, while still letting the light in, and providing architectural detail to the exterior as well.”

Working in concert as a team helped to make the creation of this family home successful, says Benedetti, who typically works on all aspects of the projects with the interior designer, homeowner, and home designer.

“I love designing family homes that have high style yet are also functional,” adds Ponciano, “whether they’re entertaining in the kitchen, reading in the library, or cozy in the bedrooms. Everything is really thought out as far as function is concerned. Adding a floral chair to the dining table, for instance, brought in some personality and sass, merging function and beauty.”

With music at the heart of this family’s life, the home has two rooms dedicated to musical enjoyment. “What might normally be the home office space,” says Wade, “is a large band room.” The library, located off the kitchen doubles as a sanctuary for music as well.

“The tall cabinets were designed for a cello, music stands, and storage,” explains MacLeod, “while the rolling ladder adds a libraryesque element.” With so many windows, there was little room left for art. Therefore, Ponciano chose a boldly dramatic piece to draw the eye upward toward the vaulted ceiling. “The great room is so large,” says Ponciano, “that we used area rugs to anchor each gathering space and darker colors to help move the flow throughout the space, whether it’s in the rugs, fabric or art.”

The homeowners say they were warned that people often become stressed or overwhelmed by the building process. That was not the case for them.

“For us,” says the homeowner, “the house is an extension of the way we live and want to host friends and family. Working with such a professional team provided us with a means of creating a home that answered our needs. So, it was easier to keep the building process in perspective because this team of talented professionals also made it fun.”

TUCKED ON A CORNER LOT ON SEATTLE’S QUEEN ANNE HILL, with expansive 270-degree views of the Salish Sea, Olympic Mountains, Elliott Bay Marina, and vital BNSF Railyard, is this unique three-story 5,500 sq. ft. modern home built for an active homeowner who plans to enjoy it into their golden years. Having worked with the homeowner on a previous project, Lisa Chadbourne and Daren Doss, AIA, at Chadbourne + Doss Architects, stepped right into this opportunity with great aplomb. “After an existing house on the property that was uninsurable had to be razed,” says Chadbourne, “we had the homeowner participate in a process we call ‘Homework,’ a questionnaire pertaining to design and lifestyle designers, both practical and esoteric.”

Chadbourne says the homeowner wanted their home to be open, exciting, intriguing, adventurous, and so comfortable that it would become the embodiment of place: namely, water, sky, and horizons. The homeowner chose the crow as a metaphor for their new home, for its intelligence, durability and use of ground as well as air. And from that came its name, “The Perch.”

Chadbourne + Doss Architects (c+d) suggested that the homeowner work with Chad Rollins of Dovetail General Contractors – as a first-time collaboration. For landscape architects, the homeowner chose Land Morphology, founded by Richard Hartlage. Both Dovetail and Ints Luters, Principal at Land Morphology, were delighted to do so, given their attention to detail and care. “Chadbourne + Doss are, first and foremost,” says Rollins, “extraordinarily talented and a pleasure to work with.”

“The challenges on this location,” adds Luters, “were how to balance the site limits with these fantastic views that are so captivating.

The strategy was to have views looking outward to the Northwest landscapes and inward toward the courtyard and project.”

“It is an incredibly dense site,” continues Rollins, “requiring extensive planning, preparation, and sequencing. It’s like playing chess, three-layers deep, and c+d’s level of detail to their drawings was of tremendous value to every participant on the team.”

In keeping with the need for privacy, yet openness, c+d made use of a variety of exterior materials, including a board-formed concrete walled courtyard accessed through a Western red cedar gate. Zinc siding pairs with painted aluminum paneling – all chosen for their durability and timeless character.

By keeping the lofty, existing Hemlock trees, their canopy provides a screen of privacy for the rooftop decks and view out across the landscape. The flat roof features photovoltaic solar array that helps exceed electrical needs. Neither is there a need for A/C, thanks to the ventilation c+d designed via sliding glass doors that let breezes circulate throughout the house.

Chadbourne + Doss placed the kitchen, dining, and lounge in a row on the top floor, where everyone can take in the view. To anchor the space, they chose Corian for the kitchen cabinetry and island, using its soft matte white finish to contrast with the walnut floors and Western Red Cedar ceiling. “Corian is a material that’s durable and repairable over time, long lasting,” says Chadbourne, who contrasts it with a Bianco Treviso marble island that grounds the bridge entry and invites all who flock there to chat with the chef and enjoy the view. The lounge is grounded by a gas fireplace whose Bianco Treviso marble hearth echoes the kitchen island, while the sofa sports the same durable Corian in its base that doubles as storage.

The homeowner’s private suite is on the second floor below the public spaces, accessible from the two flights of suspended stairs that keep them young.

“Everything you touch in this house has been crafted, designed and feels good,” says Chadbourne. Rollins calls the staircase one of his company’s proudest achievements. “It was all fabricated by artisans in our cabinet and metal shops and installed by talented finish carpenters on-site. The stairs are magical, especially when it’s raining, so layered with acoustics, light quality and architecture.”

Land Morphology involves its client in every aspect of its design as well, accompanying them to the stone yard, Marenakos Rock Center in Issaquah, where they personally choose the stones that will become a part of their lives. After splitting the largest boulder and coring it to create a gurgling fountain that flows downward into the pool, Luters notes the soothing sounds also fight traffic noise as well.

The homeowner wanted the courtyard to be an embodiment of the region – a type of “Garden of Earthly Delights.” When five maple scolopendrifolium arrived, sourced from Don Schmidt & Son in Boring, Oregon, Luters, who teamed with Nussbaum Group as their planting contractors, says Nussbaum had to crane the 10,000 lb. boulder and precious maples into the courtyard during heavy construction. “Dovetail did a really great job,” he says, “they prepared the site so that everything plugged in like pieces of a jig saw puzzle, with no reworking, and everything spot on.”

Chadbourne + Doss were equally as appreciative of the team effort. “This was an important project for our firm,” says Chadbourne. “We really enjoyed working with the team. It was a fun experience for everyone, and the creative collaboration made it a great project in the end.”

Corey Martin’s experience as a sculptor focused on making form inspired by the landscape contributed to his vision of creating architecture more intrinsically connected to Central Oregon’s unique geological landscape. Rooted in the surroundings of sagebrush below and endless skies above, Hacker Architects carved out this home as one whole from inside out. Dramatically stained Western Red Cedar on the exterior is naturally finished on interiors that extend from courtyard to kitchen. At far right is a small courtyard off the great room. An in-ground spa off the primary bedroom is sheltered by a louvered trellis above.

A LOVE FOR THE ART OF STORYTELLING is just one of the things that drew longtime Nike executive Greg Hoffman and his wife Kirsten, a Nike film producer, to principal designer Corey Martin of Hacker Architects. “What’s unique about Corey,” says Greg, “is that while presenting his design drawings to us, he began talking about the history of the area, going back hundreds of years and into the present. As someone who led storytelling presentations for years at Nike, I found being on the receiving end very powerful, because Corey’s level of emotional storytelling not only showed a lot of empathy for me and my family, but also sensitivity to the environment on which we were placing the structure that would become more than a home.”

Before joining Hacker Architects, Corey took a break from architecture and spent several years carving sculpture from Cedar and Doug fir. It was this visceral relationship to Cedar, a regional material he reveres for its beauty and durability, that inspired him to utilize it in his work with buildings as well. Growing up in nearby Eugene, Oregon, Corey has spent much of his life exploring the Central Oregon Landscape - rock climbing, biking, and skiing in the mountains. He found early inspiration from iconic Central Oregon buildings like the award-winning 1970s Country House Condominiums at Black Butte Ranch, where the design made him realize how architecture and nature could work together.

“From my work with sculpture I saw how you could also think about sculpting buildings as spaces that have been carved from the inside,” he says. “For the design of this house, the exterior is dark stained weathering cedar, inside it is clear, finished wood.

It comes from the idea of removing material in the process of carving instead of building something from groups of objects.”

Brian Groza, Senior Project Manager of KN Visions, a division of Kirby Nagelhout Construction Company in Bend, which specializes in high-end residential construction, calls Corey an exceptional designer. “Corey is a visionary,” says Groza. “His modern houses are unique, more of a hybrid of buildings and residences because of the scale, volume of spaces and visual impact with lots of glass, cedar, and a complex roof structure.

As commercial contractors, we do a lot of steel and know how to build that type of structure.”

When the Hoffmans learned of the legacy between Hacker and KN Visions after their collaboration on other projects such as the Unitarian Church in Bend, they considered it an advantage.

“As a result, we were able to benefit from their background doing commercial spaces, which meant our house would be built to last and withstand some of the extreme elements and weather of the high desert,” says Greg.

Working collaboratively with their clients, says Corey, Hacker usually begins with a variety of designs. The Hoffmans were most interested in those that complemented yet also contrasted the surrounding landscape. Greg, in turn, created an Instagram

account “The High Desert House” for the AIA-award-winning home, where he posts photos and time lapse photography illustrating the way Hacker created a constantly changing play of sunlight into the interior of the space throughout the day.

To promote community and togetherness, Greg and Kirsten wanted the large common space – kitchen, dining room and living room - to not only be functional but a place in which they wanted to spend time. Too often architecture divides these spaces with formal dining rooms separate from kitchens that are rarely used. To that end, Kirsten worked hand-in-glove with Jed’s Woodworking to refine the function of all the cabinetry in the home. “She has a great ability to achieve the functionality you need within a kitchen space,” says Greg, “that also works with the architecture that’s both modern yet highly functional.”

Hacker designed the home to both contrast and connect to the landscape. “Sometimes we can create a way to better appreciate and understand the landscape by editing it so you can focus on specific parts – one at a time,” says Corey.

Groza notes Hacker delineates visual planes in the design by using lines to define edges. “In the living room, the horizontal reveal tracks across the cap of the short wall and then extends to the exterior as seen in the courtyard area through the glass. From the entry hall, you can see the top of wall and the horizontal reveal that tracks through the entire house.”

Inspired by more than a century of farms and ranches in the area with wood weathered and burnished by the sun, Hacker Architects and the Hoffmans see any imperfections as beautiful, translating the region’s architectural history into a modern, refined expression. By varying the types of finishes, says Greg, they were able to build the home’s character and personality, and that was just one more element where KN Visions became an integral part of “the story.” “With the exterior and interiors revealing multiple shades of varnishes and stains, details mattered,” explains Greg, “and KN Visions’ extremely high attention to detail and standard of excellence enabled us to achieve that distinction.”

Corey’s passion for the specific qualities of the landscape of Central Oregon have driven Hacker to develop a nuanced approach to designing for Central Oregon. “There’s a very different quality of light in this higher elevation – with less humidity, more freshness and a literal newness geologically that we’re trying to amplify,” he says. “We bring a unique viewpoint and a more intimate connection to materials, especially when we’re using wood from the Pacific Northwest and sourcing it locally. It’s all intertwined together.”

“That’s what makes Hacker’s perspective about architecture unique,” says Greg. “In 80% of the architectural buildings and homes being designed and built today, those types of conversations are not being held and, consequently, there is an enormous opportunity to create spaces for well being and positive energy that are lost.”

SHOPTALK l Corey Martin

How would you describe your relationship with architecture?

How has it changed over your career?

I love to see how the very first insights about a project evolve to become a tactile, experiential place. It’s amazing. I also know now to trust the early insights more, to not fight them, and to let the process unfold to realize them.

Your work blends the lines between design, the extended landscape, and living space; is this something you’ve always felt strongly about or was it a gradual process of finding your voice?

I have always had the urge to connect design, landscape, and space and I have learned how to articulate it, define it, and make it happen in more powerful ways over time.

Do you use the natural environment specifically as inspiration for your architectural projects?

Absolutely. It doesn’t matter if I am working in an urban location or a sensitive natural environment, I always ask how the design can connect to the environment.

Has there been a defining experience that has significantly influenced your viewpoint on design?

There hasn’t been one single experience, but a series of experiences linked by a lot of work trying to figure things out. That said, the best thing I ever did for my confidence in architecture was the act of leaving the profession to focus on pure art.

What are some of the current influences on your work?

I am extremely excited about the potential of mass timber, and the potential of art and nature to play an even larger part in the next phase of my work.

You’ve built up a body of residential work. What are some major takeaways from designing homes?

Homes are more personal, and they allow a level of experimentation and clarity that larger projects do not. They allow deep connections to be made between people and the landscape.

As you look to the future, are there any ideas you think should be front and center in the minds of residential architects?

We should all be asking how our projects can improve something in the world.

How many projects do you take on at one time or throughout the year?

Our office does all types of work and we usually have two to three single-family homes in design or construction at any moment. We are expanding our single-family practice so that we can take on more of this work in the future.

Hidden talent?

Ask me where to go mountain biking in Oregon and I won’t stop talking for a few hours.

Favorite era of design?

The heyday of modern sculpture in the mid-century and the NW Coast carvers– Noguchi, Brancusi, Moore, Hepworth, Smith, Reid.

Corey Martin, Principal | Hacker Architects Favorite architectural detail of your childhood home?

My childhood home was the only simple modern home on our street. It was a wood volume stacked on a concrete base that had a continuous wall of glass looking west over South Eugene. The views were fantastic and in the summer it got really, really hot. My favorite detail was the external roller shades that my dad installed to block the heat before it came into the house. I learned about passive heating and cooling from an early age.

What’s next on the boards?

We are going to create the most regenerative homes you have ever seen.

BACK TO THE LAND written by MELISSA DALTON photography by KEVIN SCOTT

IN ORDER TO CELEBRATE THEIR AGRICULTURAL HAVEN ON WHIDBEY ISLAND IN WASHINGTON, A FAMILY WITH LONGSTANDING ROOTS IN THE AREA JOINED MW WORKS AND DOVETAIL GENERAL CONTRACTORS TO CRAFT A MODERN, YET TIMELESS, RETREAT THAT SYNCS WITH THE LANDSCAPE.

WITH ITS PASTURES DOTTED BY SILHOUETTES OF COWS, to a stoic old barn painted a classic bright red, and the sweeping backdrop of Douglas fir and hemlock trees, this 100-acre-property on Whidbey Island conjures a painting of pastoral America from some hundred years ago. It’s only upon a closer look that you might notice the wink of a glass house on the rise that overlooks the pasture, set back in the trees so as to not intrude on the bucolic scene. That was the point, after all.

For the owners, the land was “iconic, and we didn’t want to change that,” said the homeowner, who has had the property in their family since 1975. “We wanted to build a new house and we wanted it to have views of the pasture and farm structures, but we really wanted it to disappear.” To accomplish this, the architecture studio MW Works placed the new build on the boundary between farm and forestland, tucking its 4,420-square-foot volume around mature fir trees and surrounding a central courtyard filled with native grasses and ferns.

Just as retaining the farm’s pastoral feel was important, so to was preserving as many trees as possible. For the design team, that meant identifying significant trees, and their root systems. “You can build next to a tree, and then in two years, it might die,” said architect Steve

Mongillo. “So, we were doing everything we could to track where the primary roots were.” That mindfulness carried into the construction process, led by Dovetail General Contractors. For instance, during the installation of the low, stacked-stone walls that organize the immediate landscape and underscore the bunkhouse, the team removed the soil from sensitive root systems with air so as to know where to precisely place the steel pin piles that support the walls’ foundation.

Such a level of collaboration comes naturally to MW Works and Dovetail, who’ve built one home together previously. “The rigorous and intentional tailoring of the project that occurred between MW Works and Dovetail prior to it being built, during construction, and by the hands that made each part of the project was the craft,” said Dovetail principal Chad Rollins. “We were able to riff off each other and really parlay each other’s efforts, abilities, and vision into an extraordinary outcome.”

The house is wrapped in a custom window wall system by Quantum Windows and Doors, with deep oak jambs on the interior and metal cladding on the exterior. The David Groppi MISS LED metal pendant lamp by Omar Carraglia is suspended over a table designed by MW Works, paired with chairs purchased by the owner. The teak and blackened steel cabinetry in the kitchen is a handsome divider between the two rooms.

And while to the untrained eye, the house’s streamlined interior may appear simple – including 11-foot-tall panels of glass, polished concrete floors, custom Alder and steel cabinetry fashioned by Dovetail’s in-house wood and metal workshops – it’s just such simplicity that can be hardest to achieve when it comes to construction. “This kind of architecture is always really challenging to build. In the end, these kinds of buildings look fairly straightforward because they’re designed to look that way, but to actually achieve that is much more complicated than more traditional construction,” said Mongillo, who added: Dovetail is “very experienced in this kind of thing, and they’re super organized and able to manage all that complexity. Plus, they’re just great folks that are fun to work with, too.”

The material palette – including things like the locally sourced Huckleberry basalt stone of the living room fireplace and the Western Red Cedar lining the ceilings – sits in pleasant tension with the home’s more modern form.

“While many of our projects have a modernist backbone, we also want the houses to feel very warm and appealing,” said Mongillo. “The materials are the things that we often use to make the house feel like it’s more timeless and part of the earth.”

The architects employed natural materials that will weather comfortably over time to instill subtle texture throughout.

This in turn furthers the goal to blend the interior with its exterior surroundings, not only via the glass walls and a corner of the living room that fully opens to the covered deck, but because the home’s components are of a piece with the scenery that surrounds it.

Most importantly, since its completion in 2019, the new house has become a fitting milieu for family life. The homeowners have three grown children, each with family of their own, so the floorplan includes one great room where everyone can gather. Thoughtful details abound, such as the kitchen’s placement between the dining room and living room, so the cook is in the middle of the joie de vivre, and the solid cedar plank interior doors that the architects specified for the owner to exercise his carving hobby. There are four bedrooms, including a soothing ensuite for the senior parents and a bedroom for each couple.

Then the many grandchildren get to hole up in a separate bunkhouse all together.

BELOW In the bedroom, glass walls frame picturesque views of the preserved trees. OPPOSITE The main en-suite is a soothing retreat with plaster walls, black granite counters and teak cabinetry.

When the project wrapped, the owner commemorated the experience by mounting in the entry a bronze plaque that lists every craftsperson that worked on the home and contributed their talents, from the architects to the finish carpenters. The project “synced so well, and it was such a fun, special process for so many people,” said Mongillo. “It’s a little hard to understand the magic of how it was built from just a photo.”

“One of the objectives of the house originally was that it would be a legacy,” said the homeowner, and thanks to the creative synergy between client, architects, and craftspeople, the home is just that, equal to the storied land on which it sits. Rollins remembers his first visit, stepping inside the century-old barn and climbing the ladder to the hay loft. “I’ve been in many agricultural buildings and there is a level of quiet intention and detail that never ceases to amaze me,” said Rollins. “I like to think that the house we built will withstand the test of time just like that barn.”

A SUITE OF REFINED AND SOPHISTICATED ARCHITECTURAL FEATURES AND FINISHES ALLOWED INTERIOR DESIGNER GENEVA NESS TO TRANSFORM HER PREVIOUSLY BLAND WASHINGTON HOME INTO A COZY FAMILY NEST RICH WITH CHARACTER AND SOUL. When Geneva Ness and her husband were looking for a new home in early 2020, this Woodway abode checked a lot of boxes. It sat on one acre, which would give their family, including three children and a one-year-old French bulldog, room to roam. The 4,468-square-foot interior floorplan wasn’t quite open concept, like their last house. “An open floor plan was wonderful for entertaining. For everyday life with kids, it was too noisy,” says Geneva. And last, but perhaps most important, the house lacked any character of its own, making it the perfect project for the interior designer and founder of Geneva Ness Design.

Built in 1985, the home had a bit of a “country chateau” look, says Geneva, who wanted to instill a more cohesive vision: “It didn’t really have a style. I wanted to give it that ‘Wow’ factor, but also make sure that it felt like a cozy home at the end of the day, because this is where we were going to live and raise our kids.” In short, the designer stepped in to give the home some much-needed soul.

But first, out with the old. Geneva teamed up with Dave Askman, a third-generation contractor and owner of Renovations Depot, for the remodel. The two have worked on “countless” projects together in the past. “When it came time for me to do my own house, it was kind-of a no-brainer that I would use him, because we’ve already done so many projects as a team,” says Geneva. “I really enjoy working with him, because he is very willing to make changes in the moment, which as much as you plan ahead and have a vision, there are always things that come up that will need to be changed.”

That flexibility would prove to be especially important for this project, as after demolition across the first floor was completed, the Covid-19 pandemic brought everything to a halt. Fortunately, the Ness family was able to move out, and Askman continued working.

Even with a small crew and staggering subcontractors on-site to facilitate proper social-distancing, Askman wrapped up the job quickly, making it possible for the family to move back within six months. “If the design and materials are figured out, putting it together goes fairly quickly. It’s all the decisions that make a job tough,” says Dave. “That’s why I like working with Geneva. She’s very decisive, and just knows what she’s doing. She’s got a great eye for what she does. That makes my job way easier.”

Geneva began the remodel with the entry – in its previous set-up, the flow of traffic into the house was stoppered because of two hallways flanking the stairs, with no clear signs as to which one should be entered. Geneva remembers only confusion: “You’d open the front door, and it was like, ‘Should I go left, or should I go right?’” So, she widened the hallway thresholds and added an arched opening into the nearby dining room, all of which eases the transitions and creates better sightlines to cue visitors how to move through the house.

In the front hall, Geneva removed a pair of flimsy bi-fold doors on a closet, arched the opening, and lined the inside with shiplap paneling.

Now, Restoration Hardware sconces illuminate a wooden bench to create the perfect spot for pausing and putting on shoes. A metal tray is ready for wet and muddy soles, and a nearby woven basket stores umbrellas and such. “It’s not an extensive update, but it makes such a great moment when you first walk in the door,” says Geneva.

Such details add up to great impact, and the interior designer turned her attention to the rest of the house to finetune its feel and flow. First, she worked to improve the shell by weaving in more distinctive architectural elements. This included two more plaster arches in a hallway for a repeating motif. “There were a lot of cased openings that just felt kind of stiff and stuffy,” says Geneva. “So, I thought arches would be a fun way to make it feel more inviting.”

She extended the red oak hardwood floors throughout the home, finishing them in a lighter color for an airy feel. Shiplap paneling adorns the dining room ceiling, while new built-ins with an ebony stain anchor her office. When it turned out that structural beams at the ceiling would need to be kept in place, Geneva asked Dave to wrap them in VG Fir for an “old world feel.”

For understated texture, the walls were covered in a plaster finish, which has proven quite durable. The patina of the plaster is “a little bit more child friendly,” says Geneva. “If my boys kick a ball against the wall and create a ding, there’s already character there, so you don’t really notice.” Graphic moments provide another layer of personality, such as the floral wallpaper that pops from the office ceiling, the classic checks and stripes in rugs and window treatments, and the scattered Persian-style runners in soft, tonal hues.

It all comes together in the reinvented kitchen, wherein Geneva swapped out waxy wood cabinets and tile counters for a more soothing medley. Now, creamy-toned Canyon Creek Cabinetry bedecked with aged brass hardware is balanced with handmade zellige tile and luminous honed marble counters. “We wanted to make the kitchen the heart of the home, because that’s where we really spend all of our time,” says Geneva, noting how the room embodies a sense of “peace and calm” – a sensibility that permeates the whole house now. “I wanted the whole flow of the house to be built around that.”

In her daughter’s en-suite, a Restoration Hardware vanity is topped with a Carrara marble counter and decked with a Kingston Brass faucet. Pale wallpaper from Wallpaper Direct surrounds the RH Teen bed, and pairs sweetly with a plaid McGee & Co rug. “I love wallpaper,” says Geneva. “I wanted to find as many places to use it as possible.” The macrame wall art is a thrift store score.

SHOPTALK l Geneva Ness Do you have a signature design style?

Yes, although it plays out very differently with each client and project. I love to design with a neutral color scheme, rich textures, and an abundance of understated patterns. Living in the Pacific Northwest where we don’t get much sunshine, I’m always focused on bringing as much natural light to every space as possible. I’m a big fan of starting with creamy white walls and concentrating on the architecture of the space, or creating more if it’s lacking. I also love to do a moody room, with dark blues, greens, or soft blacks to mix up the feel of the home.

When did you first become interested in design and what was the journey to eventually building your own firm?

I have loved interior design since I was a little girl, although back then it looked a lot different; arranging and rearranging the furniture in my bedroom, begging my parents to buy me new bedding, throw pillows, room décor, etc. I remember going to my friend’s houses and organizing and styling their bedrooms.

When I got to college I thought I should have a serious career, so I got a master’s degree in education. It took me until adulthood to realize that doing what you love CAN be your career. After several remodels and house flips of my own I went back to school for residential interior design and started taking on real clients. My company was organically born from there. It’s been an incredible journey full of learning experiences that I wouldn’t trade for anything.

What kind of reaction do you hope to get from people that live in your spaces?

I want people to feel content and at ease in every space I design.

My motto is “happiest at home” because I truly want my clients to love being in their homes more than anywhere else. I don’t want there to be any sofa that isn’t comfortable, or any object that can’t be touched. I strive to create spaces that are not only beautiful to look at, but are enjoyable to be in.

What are some of the current influences on your work?

I’m heavily influenced by English, Spanish, and Scandinavian design. I love the charm, and the use of wood and patterns in English homes, the textured walls, curves, and natural materials in Spanish homes, and the clean lines and simplistic design of the Scandinavians. I think my style is a mix of all those elements.

Do you have an inspiration board, and can you tell us what is inspiring you now?

I have so many inspiration boards going for my clients right now that I don’t have time to keep one for myself. If I did though, it would be full of creamy white plastered walls, inset wood cabinetry, statement light fixtures, reclaimed hardwood floors, natural stones, handmade tiles and unlacquered brass plumbing fixtures.

Favorite design detail of your childhood home?

The two extra-large picture windows that looked out over the street. I’d spend hours watching the neighborhood activities through those windows.

Treasured keepsake?

A box of antique books from my grandparents.

What are you working on at the moment?

Two whole-house remodels with stunning views of the Puget Sound, one main floor remodel in the heart of Woodinville wine country, and one new construction vacation home on the Columbia River. Makes for some incredible site visits!

FOR OVER A YEAR, MARISA AND DREW COLEMAN

and their three young children had been crowding into a 1950s ranch style home in Lake Oswego, firm in their belief that they could remodel the home into something that would suit their growing needs. “The more we lived there, however,” says Marisa, “the more we realized that with all the funny add-ons that had been done over the years, we were going to have to start anew.”

As one of Oregon’s top real estate brokers, Drew Coleman knew a lot about selling homes, but he and Marisa soon discovered that building a new one from scratch was uncharted territory. “It was a long process,” says Marisa, “with so many moving pieces. Discovering the order of things was hard, so it’s key to work with someone whom you can trust to give it to you straight to streamline things. We were fortunate to already know the high-caliber design work of Kami Gray and craftsman/contractor Aaron Fuller of Fuller Woodcraft, so we hit the ground running.”

“The original house was a really dark box,” recalls Gray. “I knew architect Todd Lasher would be able to orient the house to bring in better light with windows that are also an important part of curb appeal.” Knowing how styles change over time, Gray also encouraged Marisa, who was already envisioning a modern farmhouse kitchen, to strike a balance between that style and something more neutral and timeless, without the then popular barnboards or shiplap.

“I listen to my clients,” says Gray, who likes to take homeowners on field trips to visit suppliers to see what they respond to. “I don’t make cookie cutter kitchens, no two are ever alike, because I want our clients to feel like it’s their kitchen and not just a Kami Gray Interior’s version of one.”

Lasher turned to Fuller while designing the home to be certain that he could build what he and Gray were designing. Fuller assured him he could make everything work with some adjustments. Marisa says Fuller’s ability to bring in great subs was essential to the flow of construction. “The framing team was so unbelievable,” she says, “that the window measurements were exactly right on, something the window installer said rarely happens.” Gray was impressed by Fuller’s hard-working, easy-going nature, and ability to pivot as needed.

“I very much liked the way the house flowed together, inside and out,” says Fuller. “Kami’s creativity and design are beautiful with plenty of forethought to make the look long lasting.”

“Balance and contrast are essential,” says Gray. “So, too, are light, hardware, and countertops. With such a big kitchen, too much white would have made it feel huge, as if it were floating, with nothing to anchor it to the ground.” To achieve that, she painted the lower and island Wellborn cabinets a Dove gray and alternated the countertop materials with Java Noir quartz alongside the white apron sink, and Pental Misterio quartz on the island.

Having a great designer, adds Marisa, helps to eliminate some of the myriad of choices. “Even if an element was visually appealing, she helped us understand the why behind it, not just the look but also the function. It’s so nice to have experts who understand your aesthetic and work with you to make it happen.”

PortraitMagazine.com

DESIGNER ANN MCCULLOCH’S CLIENTS spent years waiting for the perfect beach property. This one fulfilled all their requirements – panoramic views of a dynamic tidal zone as well as ample privacy. The existing home also had good bones. “My clients loved the character of this older contemporary house, but it felt cold and unwelcoming,” said McCulloch. “My work on their primary residence in Portland is very formal. For this vacation property, they wanted a more casual, relaxed, and warm approach.”

McCulloch and the team at Coaster Construction worked meticulously to preserve the original cedar walls and trim throughout the home.

“Coaster’s level of care and craftsmanship was essential to some creative problem-solving. The clever built-ins around the new river stone fireplace facade and other restorative work blend seamlessly with the original construction,” McCulloch said.

“Restoration of extensive, aged cedar work like this is a meticulous bit of accounting,” said Andrew Forrest, Project Manager for Coaster Construction. “We kept every little piece of trim and board we disassemble to reassemble it. We de-nail, mark and number each piece, and carefully store it in case we’ll need it later – because we’d never be able to match or replace the vintage patina of the faded whitewash.”

McCulloch embraces a subtle beach theme throughout the home, including white tongue-and-groove paneling in the main bedroom and a crushed shell top on the dining table. A light patina on wooden furnishing, including the dining room chairs and writing desk from Cannon Beach’s Sesame and Lilies in the main bedroom, make a gentle nod to driftwood.

Lighting fixtures like the one from Ann McCulloch Studio in the dining area complement the décor without being a distraction from the main feature of the home – the view. “Everything in this home is oriented around relaxing and appreciating the natural beauty of the location,” said McCulloch.

McCulloch uses beachy blues as the primary accent color throughout, acting as an anchor to the white and neutral background. Most notable is the broad blue striped fabric on inviting seating in the living area.

McCulloch worked with Serena and Lily on the custom sectional, pairing it with built-in banquet seating gracing the picture windows. “I’m a big fan of banquette seating,” says McCulloch. “It’s a magnet for gathering and relaxing.”

McCulloch accessorizes the home with natural and organic textures for a warm, lived-in vibe. Natural fiber linens and window dressings, weathered metal fixtures, and wicker lamps are a cozy touches throughout.

Other notable renovation features include a chef ’s kitchen, additional garage, and a custom fireplace surround sourced in Sisters, Oregon.

“Working with local makers and keeping an eye toward sustainably sourced and natural material is always a priority,” McCulloch says.

Bold, beachy stripes anchor the great room seating for cozy all season views. Original cedar work was preserved throughout, while the fireplace was replaced with a more place-appropriate river-rock façade with limestone hearth and mantle designed by Ann McCulloch Studio. Pillows, throw, and other accessories from Ann McCulloch Studio.

McCulloch uses Curry & Company lighting fixtures throughout. “I love the way they uniquely use unexpected materials.” Coastal blues of various hues splash the neutral décor palate and add a touch of whimsy.

Natural cedar and unfettered views grace every room. A variety of areas to relax and unwind both indoors and out invite guests to embrace the slower pace of beach living.

SHOPTALK l Ann McCulloch

Ann McCulloch Shop & Studio

What are some of your favorite projects you’ve worked on during your career?

Master Plans for historic homes are a passion of mine. A lot of older homes are not suited for a modern lifestyle. I find it extremely satisfying to create a home for a modern client while retaining the soul of an older home. When completed, the Master Plan allows the homeowner to have a big picture of the final home design before starting any work. It is very rewarding to start and complete each phase over the years.

You recently opened Ann McCulloch Shop & Studio, what led your move into retail?

I have had a retail space in the back of my mind for years and wanted a store that I would enjoy shopping in with some unique product that wasn’t available in Portland previously. Not everyone is interested in hiring a designer and with the shop we can assist customers with furniture and accessories and special orders no matter what size their project is.

What is your vision for your Shop & Studio?

My goal is to be a fantastic resource where customers can find furniture, lighting, fabrics and carpets. In addition we are carrying accessories; jewelry and other items that make great shower, hostess, birthday and

Holiday gifts. We are sourcing from smaller companies (woman owned when possible) throughout the US and overseas, many of them do not sell on Amazon, meaning your purchase will be unique.

Many of our products are handmade. I recently visited a vendor in Mexico and watched the artisans creating the most beautiful metal boxes and wine coasters. I also am a vintage junkie and search estate sales and antique stores for beautiful antique treasures.

Favorite Era of Design?

Late 1800’s for all the revival styles and ornament. I have a particular fondness for Carnegie Libraries and look for them in every small town we visit. They are always architectural gems.

Favorite American City?

Butte, Montana because of the beautiful, though neglected architecture.

BACKYARD ENTERTAINER written by DONNA PIZZI photography by MICHAEL SCHULTZ

POOL Stamped concrete – not pavers - border the infinity pool built into the newly designed backyard by GRO Outdoor Living. Cascade Pools created a 9’ deep end allowing homeowners to dive freely. SPORT COURT The Sport Court, separated from pool by topless glass and topped glass railing installed

by Rail Pro, was made possible by 13’ South retaining wall that wraps around backyard area.

A PLAN TO REPAIR A FAILING DECK TOOK THESE HOMEOWNERS ON A JOURNEY WITH GRO OUTDOOR LIVING AND FINN HILL MASONRY THAT NOT ONLY IMPROVED THEIR DECK BUT ALSO CREATED AN ENTIRE ATHLETIC PLAYGROUND WHERE ONCE THERE WAS NOTHING BUT A PATCH OF GRASS.

It was Shawn Parker’s wife Hilary who first noticed that one of the decks their 2006 Vancouver, Washington, hillside home had already begun to erode, and their middle deck was sliding downward. Despite contacting several different contractors about fixing the decks or building better ones, none of them ever produced a bid for the project or called it impossible because of the steep slope and storm water facility located below the property. Enter Garret Hergert at GRO Outdoor Living of Vancouver who had successfully built his neighbor’s sports court.

“He offered me a good, better, best scenario,” recalls Shawn. “The latter included improving the stamp-sized backyard, which was completely unusable, with only a small patch of grass on a slope so steep the kids couldn’t play in the occasional bouncy house without sliding down the hill!”

Sitting at the family’s kitchen table with a sharpie and paper napkin, Garret sketched out a design for the backyard renovation. After consulting with both a Geotech and Structural Engineers, Garret recommended making a retaining wall that stair steps up the hill to provide support for the infinity pool, spa and sports court system provided and installed by Sport Court of Oregon. Dry rotted support beams required excavating beneath the house, where all manner of debris was discovered buried, to reinforce the supporting beams for the upper deck. In the process, Garret expanded a crawl space to house the pool’s mechanical room, a locker room, and bath. He also added bifold doors that open onto the whole outdoor living space. Finally, he created access to the pool and the previously inaccessible middle deck from the exterior via a steel staircase. “I grew up on our family’s 1912 homestead farm,” says Garret, “so I have a natural knack for pulling spaces together. For this job, we used every nook and cranny we possibly could!”

Duane Homola of Finn Hill Masonry, who has worked with Garret for years, adds his own Finnish ancestral artistry to Garret’s design.

“Garret has a vision that’s absolutely unbelievable. He never cuts corners and delivers what he says he will.” Garret calls Duane an

old-world masonry craftsman, who chisels every stone together.

“My job as a stone mason,” admits Duane, “is to make everything level and straight. Cutting straight, however, is a challenge. You can use panels, but this stone was all cut by hand.”

As complex as this backyard renovation was, Garret says it was exciting for him, because he likes a challenge, solving problems and enhancing people’s lives with a better lifestyle. “No matter what roadblocks I encounter, I figure out a solution by having conversations with others and coming up with a design that best works for the site.”

Shawn says his most exciting moment was watching the concrete being poured as the whole job formed before his eyes – the shape of the pool, the edge you can sit on, the hot tub.

“This was a major project,” he says. “Garret’s design enabled us to use every square inch of our property line and tripled the size of our backyard. I can stand on the sports court corner that’s 15’ up from where it would have been. Garret Hergert and GRO are simply the best.”

SHOPTALK l Garret Hergert

When did you first become interested in landscape design and what was the journey to eventually building your own firm?

Since I was knee high to a grasshopper. I am a fourth generation farmer. It’s in my DNA. I grew up farming raspberries and commercial fruit, and we also had a poultry farm. My dad was a general contractor and framed houses so I grew up working on the jobsites with him since I was 5 years old. When I was 5 or 6 I started gardening. My grandma and my mom taught me how to germinate seeds and how to garden. I was raising produce and fruit on my own by the time I was 11 years old and selling it at the farmers market in Vancouver. Friends and family were some of my best customers. I was growing hanging baskets and flower pots when I was 10 years old and was selling Mother’s Day baskets at church and the farmer’s market as well. I landscaped my first house at 14 years of age using my parent’s farm equipment and trucks. I was able to do some really cool projects at a young age.

I received my Washington business license at 13 years old.

It’s the ultimate question of any project: Where do I begin?

How does GRO Outdoor Living begin each project?

We start every project with a site meeting whether it be with one of our GEM’S (Gro experience manager/sales person) or one of our architects and designers, or even the owner. Ultimately every project starts with some sort of design process. Whether it be on a napkin with a sharpie or a CAD drawing.

As you work with a client, how does a final landscaping plan take shape?

We start off with multiple renderings, concepts and designs. The designs are then refined from there onto a final master plan which then turns into construction drawings which are used for building the project. Many times there are changes throughout the project as we collaborate with the client to create the perfect completed collaboration to create that perfect outdoor space.

GRO has been recognized for many award-winning landscape designs, what part of your portfolio of work are you most proud of?

I am most proud of the family’s lives that we have been able to impact while creating these amazing spaces. Our employees and trade partners’ families we sustain through building these projects.

What are some recent product introductions you’ve used or are excited about introducing into a project?

New natural stone products that we have been able to incorporate.

We like using new furniture and decking products. New specimen trees that we grow at our own nursery facility.

What are you working on at the moment?

We just completed three outdoor living/pool projects and have dozens of current landscape renovation projects going. We are preparing for one full estate project and multiple pools, and outdoor living spaces projects.

FACE ROCK

BEACH HOUSE written by DONNA PIZZI photography by VALVE INTERACTIVE

GSW Architects angled beach house to adhere to Bandon, Oregon, ordinance that determines tight setback along ocean so as not to obscure neighboring houses’ site lines. Garage at right with year-round succulent roof garden. Covered walkway to entry. Ipe tongue and groove siding with Lifetime Wood Treatment. Kolbe windows above.

Marvin front door. Sense of traveling through landscape enhanced by low entry walls, easy-to-maintain coastal landscape, informal gravel driveway.

FOR 18 YEARS, OWNERS OF THIS PROPERTY ALONGSIDE FACE ROCK ON BANDON, OREGON’S COASTLINE, LET IT STAND VACANT. WHEN THEIR SON SUGGESTED EMPLOYING PORTLAND’S GSW ARCHITECTS, WHO, IN TURN, RECOMMENDED WENDY O’BRIEN INTERIOR PLANNING AND DESIGN, THE LONG-AWAITED PROJECT BEGAN. As avid golfers, Lila Blandford and her husband Ed Francese had been traveling from Arizona to Bandon, Oregon, to play at the worldrenowned Bandon Dunes for 21 years. Eighteen years ago, they wisely decided to buy a prime piece of property overlooking historic Face Rock.

According to Nah-So-Mah tribal legend, the seastack rock represents Princess Ewanua who was threatened by the Evil Ocean Spirit Seatka while swimming out into the ocean’s depths. Her petrified profile gazes skyward, away from Seatka’s evil eyes. To the West lie rock formations representing her dog Komax and her cat’s kittens who wait in vain for her to rise again.

“I never would have built on the property,” says Blandford, “if it hadn’t been for my son Chris and his wife Erin, who also loved Bandon and wanted to have a beach place to go to outside Portland.” As fate would have it, Chris recommended Giulietti Schouten Weber Architects (GSW Architects) to his mother because he’d purchased a Portland home they had remodeled. “Chris liked the house,” says Tim Schouten, “because we didn’t try to change its beach-house-in-the-woods vernacular but rather honored some of its funky details in a modern way.”

Blandford says the main goal in the house was two-fold: to have four bedrooms so that all her children could be there at once comfortably or they could have three other couples for a few days to play golf, each of whom would have views of the ocean from their own bed and bath. “My style has always been real simple Old World,” she says, “but my kids, Chris, TJ and Chelsea, all love contemporary homes, which is why I always brought Chris along to meetings with Tim Schouten and Wendy O’Brien, who Schouten recommended for the interior design.”

“Lila wanted the house to have a comfy, traditional beachy feel,” recalls O’Brien, “which was challenging to blend Mid-Century Modern architecture with classic elements. The key was combining clean lines, softly textured tiles, and materials with retro inspired lighting.” Blandford’s biggest concern was providing ocean views from both stories. “When Tim and I went out to the lot at the very beginning, I told him that given

the height restrictions by the City of Bandon that the bedrooms might not have unobstructed views.” What troubled Schouten that day was the 4-5' tall invasive, highly combustible Gorse bushes, which he feared would block the views of the historic rocks whose legend he had carefully researched. Once the bushes were removed and replaced by turf, Blandford saw that, indeed, the architect had situated the home so views from both the bedrooms and upper floor worked out perfectly.

Working with O’Brien also turned out to be quite easy and fun, she said. “I was a bit skeptical of the modern style at first, so I had to rely on Wendy to make suggestions. She would give me 2-3 options on colors, but it was all pretty exciting, seeing it come together.” By selecting paint colors that were light and ethereal with a slight blue cast to blur the lines between the interior and exterior, O’Brien shared the feeling of both worlds.

Schouten had heard good things about Jason Eichelberger of J.E. Builders in Bandon, who says, “We show up every day and don’t hold up the project.” Blandford said the crew’s work ethic was reminiscent of those she found growing up in a small Iowan town. O’Brien, like Schouten’s now partner Jake Weber, worked closely with Eichelberger and his subs by providing them with detailed drawings and specifications that helped their long-distance collaboration go smoothly.

“Working with Wendy was a great experience,” says Schouten. “Our work established the idea of a relaxing beach cabin with modern cues: an open plan with lots of glass and board-formed concrete walls. Wendy worked with Lila to discover her vision of the interiors, including a kitchen nook, where they could have family dinners, games and puzzles with granddaughter Mathilda at a table with an L-shaped banquette.”

Perhaps the biggest surprise for Blandford was Schouten’s suggestion to plant a roof garden, visible from the upper stair landing, office, and powder room, as a way of softening the flat garage roof while also reducing carbon emissions. “I knew it looked nice,” she says, “but I didn’t know if it would last year-round. But what a surprise! What I thought would be a maintenance concern, in fact, by January, had all changed colors, so beautiful and lush, with different colors cropping up again in Spring.”

SHOPTALK l Wendy O’Brien

What was the “a-ha” moment you knew you wanted to be an interior designer?

I was at a major crossroads in my life and had been working for an architectural firm in Los Angeles as an office manager. One of the interns invited me to a designer showcase at the Batman mansion.

Well, when I walked inside and saw how beautiful and well thought out all the rooms and furnishings were, I was hooked!

In your earlier professional life you were both a professional musician and a fashion designer, how did these creative pursuits influence your approach to interior design?

I’m always digging deep to create something unusual and beautiful no matter the discipline. Both music and fashion design prepared me to stretch my imagination and allowed me the opportunity to try new things and express myself. Also, designing clothing and understanding how a piece is constructed and eventually takes form, directly relates to envisioning and bringing spaces to life.

Which section of your portfolio are you most proud of?

It takes years to build a portfolio. So I am always really proud that each new project allows me to add another layer and the opportunity to show a broad range of styles. Face Rock Vacation Beach home is the latest addition to my portfolio, and I love the blend of Mid-Century with classic laid back beach style.

Do you have an inspiration board, and can you tell us what is inspiring you now?

I don’t have an inspiration board per se, but as designer I am exposed to so many new products, fabrics, lighting and furnishings every single day, which is so inspiring. I’m loving the influx of modernized Art Deco patterns, lightly textured and geometric tiles.

I’m also glad to see the return of saturated, dramatic colors (eg dark teal blue, seaweed green) in surface materials and cabinetry.

Be it subtle or bold, these evoke emotion and that is what interior design is all about for me…creating environments for your every mood.

If you enter a room what is the first thing you pay attention to?

Lighting is a big one for me! I also look at the architecture and the flow of the space. Is it working? If not, why? I always love the challenge to improve a space and make it architecturally interesting and a place you want to spend time in. When designing for my clients I also pay very close attention to how they want to use each room, their needs and lifestyle.

What are your favorite products to work with, e.g. paints, wallpaper or textiles and which designers do you admire?

I have always had a passion for textiles, which I learned early on from my mother. Fabrics are usually the one element in a room that we literally touch or come in contact with every day. I absolutely love pulling together beautiful combinations of textures, patterns that tell a story in each room and feel great! I really admire Kelly Wearstler’s bold approach to design. Her use of classic materials juxtaposed with modern lines and sculptural shapes inspires me to take risks.

Treasured keepsake? My great grandmother’s silver hairbrush and hand mirror set.

Favorite era of design? French Renaissance and Art Nouveau.
