36 | Oregon Home of the concrete foundation. They also installed heated concrete floors stained a warm red. Where once there had just been a handful of windows, the new living room was opened up with lots of windows that run almost the entire length from floor to ceiling — especially nice considering the home’s view east toward the Cascades. All are trimmed with clear vertical-grain fir, with a running trim throughout the home that ties it all together. The addition of uplights, soffit lights and other lighting details also helped open up the space. “The lighting is sophisticated yet serves to add warmth to the space,” Cressa says. For the primarysuite addition, W.L. Construction worked closely with Richard to create a new space off one side of the singlestory home. They blew out a wall, creating a sort of gallery at the end of a hallway that leads into the master suite. The new space encompasses the master bedroom with a large closet, two private office spaces, heated concrete floors to match the living room and a primary bath with a custom shower. The first phase of the project also remodeled the home’s workout room and laundry area, which now has a unique dogwashing station for the family’s furry companion. The second phase was a garage and entry addition completed in 2021. The third phase of the remodel, a full kitchen redo, is now in the works as well. Lars says the project will revamp the kitchen in much the same way the rest of the house has been tended to, with the same elements — wood trim, lighting accents and more — woven in. “The kitchen we are doing now is kind of all of those things on a smaller scale,” he says, “so that the end result, after six years of work, will see the original scope and vision complete. And it wouldn’t have happened without a true team effort, communication and trust.” wl-construction.com
