This custom home is perched above the Willamette River in the historic Old Town neighborhood in Lake Oswego. The clients were soon-to-be empty nesters who envisioned an inviting home with room for family and friends. At the same time, they wanted the space to feel cozy when it was just a twosome. We designed the interiors to reflect the neighborhood’s vernacular cottage architecture, with a fresh modern feel. The kitchen opens to the living room and great room, which expands seamlessly to a covered outdoor room with a wood-burning fireplace. Soft white, a rich mix of textures and warm neutrals form the background for spectacular river views from every room.
