Single Family Residence | Custom Home | ADU | NE Portland, Oregon. Big space with a small footprint. This new 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath 1,025 SF single-family home maximizes the small 1,746 SF lot and creates private outdoor spaces with large openings connecting to the interior at both the front and back of the house, making a small space feel large and open. Vaulted ceilings, clever storage, tall fully glazed doors, generous operable windows, and a large double-height space create spaciousness within a small footprint.
This single story home was built by the owner’s grandfather in 1929, and will be the childhood home of at least 3 generations of their children. We worked closely to preserve and respect the history of the home, while uplifting it to work for generations to come. We added 1075sf second level while not overpowering the scale of the home from the street. The thoughtful addition saved the client money, and reduced the carbon footprint of the project.
