4 | Oregon Home EDITOR’S NOTE JUST AS THE WEATHER began to turn this year, I fulfilled a long-held dream to take a flower-arranging workshop with Colibri, one of my favorite floral studios in Oregon. I had so much fun learning how to make intuitive but bold choices while discovering how color, form and texture build a whole. No wonder flowers and fall gatherings pair so well. This season is over in a flash, but just like with floral arranging, it can be slowed down by focusing on moments guided by the spirit of generosity and abundance. Considered details, thoughtful presentation, joy in all of its forms— every time you welcome someone into your spaces this season is an opportunity to share what a beautiful life looks like to you. In this issue of Oregon Home, we are exploring this exchange as we look at what magic happens when you welcome others into your world. Of course we have signature ideas for how to host graciously and with style (“Spread Some Joy,” p. 45), but we are also looking at ways people are thinking about building homes for togetherness (“Together at Last,” p. 28) and how they redesign parts of the home for a group (“Low-Key Genius,” p. 80). May this season find you excited about new, fresh ways to share at home!

24 | Oregon Home FromOPEN HOUSE toDREAM HOME CHANCE ENCOUNTER LEADS COUPLE TO RENAISSANCE HOMES AND BUILDING THEIR FOREVER ABODE. By Jon Bell
Oregon Home | 25 FOR JESSICA AND Jason Cain, the path to their dream home began on a quiet weekend afternoon, when a casual stop at an open house turned into a lifechanging conversation. With four young boys, the family had outgrown several Lake Oswego homes and were renting in Wilsonville, determined to return to the community they loved. They had long envisioned building a custom home, but during the uncertainty of the COVIDconstrained market, finding the right property felt daunting. Then came a chance encounter. At an open house for a new Renaissance home, they spotted a familiar face: Randy Sebastian, the company's founder and president. The couple didn’t know him personally, but they recognized him from the gym and knew of his prominent presence in the homebuilding world. They chatted for a bit, and during their conversation, Jessica shared how much she loved the stretch of land between Lake Oswego and West Linn along Rosemont Road. That part of the discussion brought a smile to Sebastian’s face. “I love something about Rosemont Road. It’s just so peaceful up there,” Jessica Cain says. “When I said that, Randy smiled and said, ‘Do you guys have a little bit of time? I think I might have something for you.’” What he had was a rare gem: a five-acre property on Rosemont Road, perfectly suited for a custom home. He even invited the family to his own home, showing them how he had preserved mature fir trees on his lot, blending natural beauty with thoughtful design. “It just all felt so good, and he had such a good way of explaining everything—and it was all because he just popped by the open house,” Cain says. “I’m such a believer of things happening for a reason. I feel like we chose Renaissance and Renaissance chose us.” What started as serendipity quickly became a seamless building experience. Founded in 1984, Renaissance Homes has earned its reputation as one of the region’s most recognized builders for over four decades. In recent years, Renaissance has expanded its expertise into custom homes, streamlining the building process for clients while delivering exceptional quality—something the Cains experienced firsthand. CUSTOM FIT: Renaissance Homes
26 | Oregon Home “We were wanting functionality and beauty, and we wanted to have it done quickly so we could get into our home and start living in it,” Cain says. “I feel like I can’t say enough about Renaissance. It was seamless. They were doing everything right and on time.” The result is a breathtaking, nearly 8,000-square-foot home with six bedrooms and seven bathrooms, plus a home gym and two laundry rooms. Jessica and Jason’s suite resides on the main floor, while the second level hosts the boys’ bedrooms and a bunk room built for unforgettable sleepovers. Outside, steeply pitched roofs, whitewashed brick and towering firs create a sense of timeless tranquility. An expansive outdoor living space showcases some of Renaissance’s signature touches: including expansive covered living, a juice bar, a cozy fireplace and massive sliding glass doors that blur the line between indoors and out. “People know that it’s a Renaissance home,” Cain says. Despite its size, Jessica says the house feels warm and inviting. “Every room is cozy and comfortable,” she says. “Nothing is huge or over-the-top.” From that first meeting with Sebastian at the open house to moving into their new home just under two years later, the journey was seamless. Renaissance kept the Cains involved every step of the way, from design meetings at the Renaissance Homes Design Studio to regular site visits that allowed them to watch their dream home take shape. Cain grew up in Hillsboro and her parents still live in the same house she grew up in. She says her fondest memories have been in that home, and she wants their home on Rosemont to be the same kind of place for her own kids. The family has been in it for less than a year, but it already feels like it has that kind of permanence. “I have always wanted that,” Cain says. “Let’s build this beautiful forever home that the kids are always going to call home, that they’re going to come back to from college or wherever and it’s going to feel right . . . It’s going to feel like home.” renaissance-homes.com

Oregon Home | 29 Together at Last RISA BOYER ARCHITECTURE DESIGNS A WOODSSWATHED MODERN BARN RETREAT FOR TWO FAMILIES. ByEMILY GROSVENOR
30 | Oregon Home ARCHITECT RISA BOYERhad been looking with her family for a property near Mt. Hood for seven years, but their wish list was different than most. They wanted the peace and serenity of being surrounded by woods, but they also longed for a valley setting, with its feeling of abundance. They found it in an 11-acre property formerly known as Ziba Dimmick State Park, an abandoned swath of land abutting the East Fork River near Parkdale. “It was magical wandering through the woods and discovering these different environments on the 11 acres,” says Boyer, of Portland-based Risa Boyer Architecture. “Going in on the property and then the project with another family and keeping the costs down allowed us to make this dream happen.” Ziba Dimmick State Park flooded in late 1980 and was sold by Hood River County in 1981 before going up for sale again in 2017. During the families’ first visit, they could still access the old asphalt parking area, overgrown and covered with leaves and surrounded by cottonwoods and pine trees. They wandered the site on overgrown trails and climbed a 15-foot embankment to find the 4-acre meadow where they ended up camping for a few years in Airstreams and, eventually, building the house. “I loved the smell of the woods, the natural light, and the view of an The dining room chairs, from Design Within Reach (HAY J 41 Side Chair), add a touch of the traditional to the modern space, with rods that echo the railings in the home. A custom, 26-foot bridge spans a double-height space and connects a family room with the bunk room.

The two families understood from the beginning that it was a site that could pose a challenge for most, but they brought to it their backgrounds in architecture and general contracting. The property had recently undergone a land-use review before being put up for sale. It would need septic, had no electricity and needed many considerations to protect it from flooding. “It was pretty clear that it wouldn’t be a site that most people could work with,” Boyer says. Together, the team planned for a sleek, modern retreat reminiscent of the barns of Hood River’s Fruit Loop. Their overall goal was to create a serene space connected to nature but within a smaller budget, one that could accommodate a group while allowing for solitude. “There’s something about a valley that makes me feel at home and relaxed,” Boyer says. Designing the floor plan, Boyer accounted for both families’ needs and preferences, deciding on a setup that would accommodate two couples and, together, their three kids, while allowing each group to have some privacy. A sense of calm pervades the home inside and out. Boyer sank the living room to create a spot perfect for rest—reading, lounging, morning coffee, afternoon naps and evenings around the fire. In the kitchen, Boyer set a long window at eye level that carries around with a view to the woods. Inside, she repurposed leftover tile from another project, and went with IKEA cabinets and countertops for their functionality. “This is the second IKEA kitchen we’ve done,” Boyer says. “They are durable, and for the cost, it’s a great deal.” “It’s really nice to go out there and have the calm of zero clutter—it really looks just like the photos when we go there,” says Risa Boyer. Materials in two similar bathrooms were kept simple and functional with slate floors and a minimal palette to enhance the calm factor.
34 | Oregon Home Boyer and her team explored many options to position the house, finally deciding on an angle that has a peekaboo view of Mt. Hood. Boyer collaborated with Grummel Engineering to design the bridge connecting two of the upstairs spaces, the upstairs hangout space and the bunk room, with a bridge hung by thin steel rods just ¾-inch in diameter. “It’s actually supported by those rods, attached to hefty hidden beams—with all of that weight, we needed the cross collar ties,” Boyer says. Outside, a swimming pool and a cedar soaking tub allow for family and friends to have fun in Oregon’s hot summer season. Inside, Boyer amped up protection from the elements with a tight building envelope, fiberglass windows, and spray-foam insulation, a heat pump water heater and furnace (which also heats the pool in the summer). The two families undertook much of the construction and finishing work themselves, making it a project not unlike a modern barn-raising—an event including an entire community to make it happen. “I feel really lucky every time I go out there,” Boyer says. risaboyer.com

Oregon Home | 37 Must Love Art Jessica Hansen and the team behind Tandem Design make a home for an art-loving couple. By Emily Grosvenor For the fireplace, art came first, with Tandem customdesigning the boxes for existing collections.

Oregon Home | 39 EVERY DESIGN PROJECT ends up being a collaboration, but working with a household of art-loving creative directors presents a special opportunity for designing intentional spaces. For Jessica Hansen and the team behind Portland-based Tandem Design, this free flow of ideas between creatives was what made their work on a 1980s contemporary in Northwest Portland’s Forest Park so satisfying. “There is really a soul in every house,” Hansen says. “Our philosophy is really to keep what works and what is worth keeping instead of tearing everything out.” A former wardrobe stylist, Hansen knew that working with two creative directors would involve a deep partnership with clients who already know their tastes and would be able to contribute ideas about style, color and form. The couple even made a visual style guide called a deck for the project before discussing with Hansen, who sees herself as a creative director for the remodel. “There’s more than one way to crack an egg,” Hansen says. “Our purpose is to support the homeowner in the ways that they need.” Hansen met the clients at one of the regular networking events she holds at her home. The house they had purchased in a wooded area of Portland had a 1980s feel to it, with arched windows and other vestiges of the era. The main living space had expansive ceiling heights and a workable floor plan that they kept. But some of the spaces still felt dark and kind of drab, and the home’s main surfaces and materials felt dated. “We didn’t have to do anything structurally,” Hansen says. “We already had a lot to work with.” As with many remodels, finding unique ways to update dated looks and a lack of function drove the big-picture process in the home. The project proceeded in two phases, encompassing all of the home’s spaces, including a kitchen, dining room, living room, bedrooms and four bathrooms. First, working with LUX Construction, Tandem redid the floors, switched up the tile in the entry and traded out the old railing for a new, more modern one. Tandem Design kept some of the original elements of the 1980s contemporary, such as its large, arched windows.
40 | Oregon Home But just as important to material changes was finding a way to hold the couple’s existing art collection—making choices that felt both congruous to the home’s design while holding space for beloved artworks and sculptural pieces the couple had collected along the way. “Working with a client’s collection of past items is what makes a house feel really interesting,” Hansen says. “You can’t just go out and buy things and also make it feel like a home.” Tandem began thinking about the art with a wall in the living room, where a fireplace had been illuminated by coach lights, like what you might find on the floor of a limousine. “The fireplace was so big and so present in the main space,” Hansen says. The design team decided to replace the tile in front of the fireplace and build a deep shelving unit on either side to accommodate the couple’s books below. They had been collecting art for years but wanted it all integrated in a more suitable manner, so Tandem took the wide and tall wall above and designed boxes to create custom spaces for each artwork. Hansen went to the couple’s previous home to take pictures and collect measurements. Then she designed a grid with ledges so the couple could place art and, potentially, move it around as they’d like.
Oregon Home | 41 Shades of pink form a visual through-line in the home. A piece by Australian artist Mitchell English creates a fun focal point in the primary bedroom.
42 | Oregon Home The designers replaced can lights with downlights to make the lighting softer and more inviting. Tandem reduced the size of the original kitchen island and added seating. Tandem kept the original layout of the kitchen, including location of the sink and cabinets, but painted the upper cabinets and replaced the backsplash, hardware and countertops.
Oregon Home | 43 “It has worked out so wonderfully,” Hansen says. “They are enjoying being able to move things around.” Across the room, the kitchen island was an opportunity to create something more fitting with the space and the couple’s lifestyle. The previous island had been large, with no seating whatsoever and had been eating into the living room, so they reduced it in size and added room for stools. “There was more than enough storage in the kitchen already,” Hansen says. Tandem found great ways to keep the couple’s budget down while tackling the dated cabinetry. The designer didn’t change the location of any of the cabinetry boxes; instead, she switched out the bottom for white oak and painted the top cabinets. She traded out canned lights with downlights to improve the harshness of the original home. “Keeping some of the original kitchen really adds that depth and sense of connection within the home,” Hansen says. Tandem upgraded all four bathrooms in the home with stylish choices that feel simple and modern while invoking a sense of personality and interest through texture. All in all, Hansen is proud of how the collaboration was able to work with what was there before—the existing art, and the parts of the home that still felt helpful, interesting, and full of character. “For me, home has always been a place to feel comfortable and at ease and surrounded by beauty,” Hansen says. tandemdesigninteriors.com In the kitchen, Fireclay tile in “Dust Storm (Gloss)” changes color depending on the location of the sun.

80 | Oregon Home Low-Key Genius “ELEVATED BASEMENT” may sound like a contradiction in terms, but more and more, that’s what’s happening in the lowest levels of the home. “Basements are spaces full of untapped potential,” says Jessica Shevde of Portland-based Jessica Lane Interiors. For this 1910, 4,860-square-foot Craftsman-style in Portland Heights, Shevde amplified the space’s low natural light with new windows reflected by a decorative mirror WHAT’S TRENDING: Light/Bright Basements and glossy tile backsplash, layered lighting including recessed ceiling lights and sconces, and strategically placed table and floor lamps. Benjamin Moore greige “Nature’s Essentials” warmed up the space. “The original basement was cold, dark and lacking storage,” Shevde says. “With creative design, a basement can become an inviting, comfortable extension of the home.” jessicalaneinteriors.com
