King’s Heights, Portland

Integrated Project Delivery with Janke Architecture

Immersed in our client's vision, we embarked on a transformative journey that elevated a simple renovation into the creation of a legacy home. Originating as an upgrade to a 1950s ranch house, our project swiftly evolved into a ground-up build, fueled by our dedication to realizing ambitious goals. Nestled in Portland's Kings Heights neighborhood, this 4250-square-foot custom residence stands as a testament to meticulous craftsmanship and innovative design, meticulously tailored to its complex building site.

Our foremost objective was to craft a home that would withstand the test of time, both in construction durability and bespoke interior elegance. Leveraging passive solar building massing and strategic daylighting techniques, we prioritized cost-effective energy efficiency while fostering a healthy, comfortable living environment for the family of four.

Navigating the intricacies of the sloped lot posed a multifaceted challenge, requiring close collaboration among our integrated team of architects, builders, and engineers from inception. Creative stormwater planters seamlessly blend into the landscape, serving dual purposes as retaining walls and enhancing the home's natural allure. Throughout construction, we meticulously preserved the majestic trees that grace the property, ensuring their enduring presence as cherished elements of the landscape.

Stepping inside, guests are welcomed into a bespoke interior. Modern yet tactile materials, restrained color palettes, and softening textures define the residence's aesthetic. At its core lies a chef's kitchen equipped with integrated appliances, inviting gatherings and celebrations alike. The first floor features an open floor plan with distinctive spatial character—a dining room flanked by a sun-kissed south-facing patio and a grand double-height stairway that bathes the living spaces in natural light.

From inception to completion, every aspect of this custom home reflects our unwavering commitment to excellence and innovation—a testament to our client's vision and our dedication to realizing it.
