The design of the 4015 House and Studio reflects the global shift to working remotely, renovating a mid-century house set in the hills above Portland. Designed for an executive creative director and his family, the house focuses on smart space planning, rich materiality and fine detailing. After the completion of the house, a small, detached studio was commissioned for the client’s creative practice. Designed with the same attention to detail, the new studio complements the house through scale, proportion, and materiality. Conceived as a periscope, an expansive north facing window wall takes advantage of ambient daylighting while providing clear views from the lower level to sky and tree canopy beyond.
