The reclaimed wood cladding really works well against the natural background and changes colour through the seasons and different lights of the day.

What used to be a sitting area at the end of the garden, is now a peaceful office space. This garden office provides a beautiful workstation with a skylight just above it, and a comfortable sitting area to relax and admire the view from the large sliding doors.

Remodeled and created workspace with private bedroom in old storage shed on property. Added heating, lighting, kitchenette, and bedroom in hay loft. New glass garage door that opens to dramatic views of Columbia River. Project team included Jeffrey L. Miller Architects.

The garden was well-established when the homeowner commissioned the final touch, a mural depicting California's famous Fried Egg Plant (Matilija Poppy, Romnea coulteri). She found the artists via Beautifearth, a service that connects artists with projects.

Painting the cabin a dark color makes it retreat into the background. The blue is a lovely compliment to the hardwood.

The two car garage was an addition to the renovation project. It also includes a storage room in the back the same width as the garage.

History The house is part of a terrace of 1970s neo-Georgian houses, built on the site of demolished large Victorian Villas. This terrace is one of many similar examples built in a ten year period from the mid 1960s around Canonbury. The first of these ,a terrace built in Canonbury Place was designed by Raymond Erith one of the leading classical Architects of the period. This later terrace, however, was by a unnamed house builders architect. The Design Whilst the front facade was designed in the Neo-Georgian style, the interior layout and design were generic 1970’s house builder. Stripping out the entire interior back to just the external walls and the roof, we inserted a new interior as a modern interpretation of a Georgian house interior. The design is centred around a cantilevered pill shaped staircase that sits in a triple height space with the upper rooms accessed directly off the stair. The hallway has a chequer board floor in marble and terrazzo with the terrazzo continuing up the staircase. A rear extension provides a kitchen and dining space. A full width roof light illuminates the middle of the plan.
Local planning restrictions inexplicably prevented dormer windows to the rear (or any form of roof extension). Our solution was to move the floor levels around to achieve three stories, within the available space. The design was intended to provide a contrasting route through the house. The initial volume of the entrance hall is contrasted by the scale of the arched tunnel beyond. There is a visual link through the house from the front door through to the arched garden window and the space beyond. 
The rear facade is composed of white brick and terrazzo and alludes to Georgian marble fireplace surrounds. The project was an opportunity to explore the skills of craftsman some of whom we have been working with for some years. The cantilevered staircase was built entirely on site and although contemporary is built in the same way a Victorian or Georgian staircase would be built. We also worked with a terrazzo specialist on a bespoke mix terrazzo used both in-situ and precast formats. This formed the stairtreads, the flooring, work tops and the cladding of the rear façade. Update we have added some interior shots with the furniture and shots of the complete garden.
