Open Kitchen
This house is located in a 65 acre chestnut orchard with views to Mt. Hood, the Willamette Valley and neighboring farms. In collaboration with John Forsgren we arranged the house to respond to immediate and distant views and to maximize natural light. The design combines the open feel and natural flow of modern interiors with Craftsman Style detailing. The exterior colors come from the palette of adjacent and distant forests and allow the house to sit quietly on the hill. Interior colors enhance the sense of home created by the furnishings, detailing and scale of the rooms. The house’s forms, materials and colors are unified under the large sheltering roofs.
