It had been largely untouched since being built, so Ment Architecture freshened it up with a few new finishes.



Houses We Love: Every day we feature a remarkable space submitted by our community of architects, designers, builders, and homeowners. Have one to share? Post it here.

Project Details:

Location: Portland, Oregon

Architect: Ment Architecture

Footprint: 2,300 square feet

From the Architect: "Constructed in the 1960s, this home is unique for the Portland area and feels decidedly more Palm Springs than Pacific Northwest. Having largely avoided any detrimental renovations over the years, the home has proven to be a time capsule with many original details intact that provided clear design direction and references for implementing changes in the renovation."



"This home underwent a variety of updates, including restoration of the exterior, renovation of every interior space, and a new landscape scheme."

Constructed in the 1960s, the home encapsulates a bit of the personality of the era.

"It was decided early on in the planning phase to honor the history and original architecture of this home and treat it primarily as a restoration project."
