Inspired by Global Art and Swedish Design

We partnered with a retiring family seeking to consolidate their residences and create a forever home in Portland, Oregon. Their vision: a sophisticated yet inviting retreat that reflects a lifetime of travel and art collecting. The clients purchased a custom architect-designed home from the 1990s, nestled in a secluded enclave of Portland’s Northwest Hills.

Our design brief was to transform the existing residence into an elevated, art-infused sanctuary. The creative concept blended the charm of Josef Frank with the elegance of a 1930s Swedish castle, resulting in a refined yet eclectic aesthetic.

Key spaces, including the kitchen and four bathrooms, were completely reimagined using luxurious, design-forward materials and exquisite craftsmanship. Every detail was carefully considered.

• Carrara marble flooring

• Custom white oak cabinetry by Big Branch Woodworking
