Oregon Home | 25 CUSTOM FIT: Metke Remodeling & Luxury Homes WITH THEIR DAUGHTERS off to college, new empty-nesters Bill and Lisa Sewell returned home to Oregon, scooping up a 1950s fixer on Lake Oswego’s west bay. Though the lot was tight (5,000 square feet), they were up to the task of creating a lakefront cottage, one where friends and family would feel right at home. “The original home was essentially a teardown,” recalls Crystal Elder, interior architect with Metke Remodeling & Luxury Homes. “The goal was to rebuild it as a modern home with a cottage-type feel and do it all in about 3,000 square feet of living space.” This became a true test of Metke’s prowess. New empty-nesters downsize into their dream home. LIVING LARGE on Lake Oswego by RACHEL BUCCI
