Home Renovation
Oakwood Retreat
Portland, Oregon
A Familiar Home, Made New Again.
Oakwood Retreat is a complete renovation that keeps the character of an older house while giving it the light and layout of a modern home.
01
Project Overview
The owners loved their neighborhood and the bones of the house, but the rooms felt closed off and the finishes had reached the end of their life.
02
The Challenge
The family stayed nearby during the work and needed a clear schedule, while hidden structural issues had to be resolved without losing the home’s character.
03
Our Approach
We opened the ground floor, reinforced the structure, and introduced warm timber cladding, new glazing, and a simplified palette of natural finishes.
04
The Outcome
The house now feels warm, open, and easy to live in, with every room working harder for the family that calls it home.
