A new perspective on Midcentury.
When our clients purchased this 1954 Midcentury modern home in Northwest Portland, they envisioned remodeling it to honor its original style. They looked for a company with a good reputation and proven track record with this kind of work.
Tight streets and challenging site conditions required meticulous planning and coordination. The project involved an extensive interior and exterior renovation that spanned three levels and required artful design, skillful craftsmanship, and professional project management. The whole house remodel updated the home to focus on the view and created a rentable ADU on the lower level.
