From hobby farm house to equestrian estate.
Dundee Hills
It wasn’t the home that first caught the eye of these formerly urbanite clients; it was the land, set on five acres in the vine-covered Dundee Hills of Oregon’s Willamette Valley.
The home itself - a seventies-build that had accrued several expansions over the years - was serviceable, if dated. But more than that, it was at odds with the design style my clients wanted to project at their country estate.

Reflecting their love of Nordic style, a sparing palette of earthy-tones allows texture to play the lead, in particular a double-height wall clad in weathered timber.
