DESIGN ETHIC
Keep It Simple
We start each project with an eye to expanding space and we finish it with a neutral palette, according to minimalist design values, so that living in one of our homes showcases you and the way you flow through life.
Invite Nature
We are here because the amazing Pacific Northwest ecosystem speaks to us. We believe that nature is core to the home and not an afterthought, so we work with our landscape team from Day One of design. Showcasing organic materials, our homes invite you to listen to your natural surroundings, so that the elemental becomes part of your every day life.
Make It Human
We mine our community for creatives, craftsmen and artists and foster their prosperity while we channel their genius to curate our homes with details that make them unique, cool and inspiring. Our custom homes are designed and made exclusively in PDX.
OUR PROCESS: A CASE STUDY
Go Thrifting
Our model is built on finding properties with untapped potential and fully realizing it. This half acre property in Cedar Mill bordered Lost Park and offered a nearly flat, private building site convenient to all the amenities we live here for.
Be Wide-Eyed
As life and work partners (in that order), we are constantly observing and discussing our natural and built environment with each other. We travel through the world, internet and our memories, gathering inspiration, sharing it and cooing over everything from the sensible to the astounding.
Daydream
Our conceptualization is always grounded in, well, the ground itself (the character of the site), our design ethic and the organic unfolding of our portfolio of homes. One of the first homes I designed as a child was a courtyard home and I'd always wanted to build one. This nearly level lot was my opportunity. We named it Foundry Residence, as a nod to the central atrium of a foundry building where metal is melted.
Doodle
Foundry Residence was conceived at the very beginning of the Covid pandemic. We envisioned living spaces grouped around a central courtyard to allow multi-generational living, bringing people together, while providing ample privacy for each.
Be Obsessed
Everyone has their own workflow. At the conceptual design level, mine involves pulling a couple of all-nighters. It might have to do with my caffeine prep, but I like to think it has something to do with "weltanschauung," a German word which I interpret as a sense of wholeness or unity. Once an idea is conceived, it has a mind of its own and, like Boba Fett and his inhaled horned gekko, I let the idea do the navigating. I'm just here for the ride.
Form & Storm
Every project is a new season, with a team hand selected by Dave, our COOCH - Chief Operations Officer Creating Homes :) As a design/build firm, we collaborate at the design level with our creative team and the many skilled trades that will execute the work, so the details are communicated and ironed out early, before construction. This allows us to cull their expertise, driving innovation in structure, materials and technology. It also lays down the groundwork for transparency, communication and respect.
Play
Whether we are diving into a bare dirt, never-before built home or remodeling your favorite spaces, we consult with you to create and revise floorplans that articulate your ways of using and moving through your home territory. Through multiple consultations at our Rezide Design Studio, local showrooms, and virtual software, our design evolves into the personalized living places that you will one day call home.
Channel the Vision
Your home's story is personified by our Design Portfolio, which defines the sensual experience of every detail of your home to be, including: room-by-room Moodboards, appliances, lighting & plumbing fixtures, tile and flooring specifications and casework shop drawings. As the build begins, the Design Portfolio is expanded to a Site Manual which lives on site for cross reference by our trades team.
Imagine with Clarity
Floor plans and elevations are not always enough to envision major design and structural decisions. Consequently, we offer more robust tools to aid clients in their decision-making. We often utilize these renderings to vet proportions, materials, colors and interior design decisions prior to execution.
Create with Finesse
We execute builds with outcomes that replicate and exceed the design concept. That's because the creative process doesn't stop at floor plans and elevations. Our magic is in the mix of site, design and fabrication.
