These days the phrase “go outside” doesn’t quite hit the same. In my family, most of the time, we are already there. We are poking around the garden, reading a book in a hammock, grilling up dinner or otherwise vibing outdoors every chance we can get. In Oregon, we love those spaces that exist between the comforts of interiors and the serenity of outdoor rooms. Where once the green grass of the backyard was the true indicator of homeowner happiness, these days a garden with well-designed, open-air rooms for relaxing, socializing and dining is what we want to look out on. Can you blame us? It’s downright magical out there, and being able to step outside for that magic couldn’t be easier. So, right in time to celebrate summer, we are presenting you with some of our favorite outdoor-living trends, especially with a swoon-worthy project by Annie Wise Design (“Easy Passage,” p. 40). We also introduce you to Justin Waddell, the person behind the popular plant destination Bloke (“Portland’s Plant Daddy,” p. 56), as well as food influencer Judiaann Woo, who has some easy, tasty takes on weekend brunch that can get you outside even faster (“Chef at Home,” p. 65). What’s your outdoor style, and how do you want to make the most of the season when you’re close to home?

18 | Oregon Home Landscape Design: Fusion|fusionlandscapedesign.com Photography: Seppi Ramos For this exterior project for a family in Colonial Heights laid out on different levels, Fusion planned out a covered outdoor area with a fireplace, a dining patio, a partially enclosed grill station, updated storage, an eco-smart pet-relief zone and casual lounging areas. The four-season outdoor pavilion, designed by eMZed Architecture, allows the homeowners to host sportsviewing parties, barbecues and cozy family nights. “They liked it so much that we ended up doing their front yard as well,” says Kristien Evans, founder and principal designer of Fusion. leveling up A two-sided fireplace adds a cozy ambience to lounging and dining.

But the heart of the project is an outdoor fire table and seating area. The designers added a personal touch with a custom painting of the owner and her two children on the fence. making it personal The design brief called for a peaceful backyard for family gatherings and to cherish moments together.

Tabor, Portland, garden makeover designed for wellness. “Saunas are ideal for enjoying health benefits in a convenient way,” says its designer, Lisa Meddin of Harmony Design Northwest. “But they also add structural interest, especially when incorporated into the whole.” The project’s year-round barrel sauna, a two- to four-person cedar-canopy sauna by Almost Heaven, forms its own room between a garage and a sitting area. It was part of a larger project including dog-friendly yard choices, a new hardscape path, a tortoise habitat and veggie gardens. 22 | Oregon Home being well

26 | Oregon Home CUSTOM FIT: Metke Remodeling & Luxury Homes At first glance, it might be hard to understand why the clients chose the two-story, 3,800-square-foot, 1990s-era farmhouse on 4.25 acres in Wilsonville as their forever home. But for every negative, there was a positive. Yes, it had ugly yellow siding, but there was acreage and a pool. It was minutes to I-205, but the secluded property felt worlds away. Enter Metke Remodeling & Luxury Homes, tasked with transforming this dated, fairly unremarkable home into something magical. “If a home doesn’t pencil to tear-down, we want to creatively maximize the existing structure and somehow make it feel new. That’s the unique challenge of whole-house renovations,” says Jeff Metke. “You shouldn’t be able to tell where the old home ends and the new home starts. It all feels like a brand-new home.” young retirees start a new chapter in a home that meets their evolving needs. Remodeled Retreat Puts Entertaining Center Stage By Rachel Bucci
Oregon Home | 27 Entertaining Spaces and Functional Living With a plan in place for a more open-living concept, a private main-floor primary suite and plenty of outdoor spaces for entertaining, Metke got to work. “Our goal was to balance the addition so there was a semblance of symmetry to the house,” says Metke’s Senior Design Coordinator Crystal Elder. “It needed to look like it was built that way.” The home had a traditional curved staircase and small separate living, dining and kitchen spaces. Outdoor entertaining spaces had no flow or functionality and were connected to the home by one small door. Utilizing pathways between the existing home and the new 1,100-square-foot addition, Elder created a sense of sanctuary and retreat in the private primary suite. Out went the old staircase and in went a new contemporary staircase with floating risers and a straighter trajectory, opening up the home’s sight lines. “Now when you walk in the front door, you have unobstructed views through the house to the patio and public entertaining spaces beyond. It draws you in,” says Elder. The yellow siding was replaced by distressed wood siding from Tualatin-based Hewn, and Aurora Landscape was enlisted to lay stone pathways between the pool and the covered seating area just off the kitchen. A new 1,200-square-foot patio is accessed via large multislide doors where family and guests can gather together around the stunning masonry fireplace or large dining table. An outdoor kitchen makes entertaining a snap and a beautiful tongue-andgroove cedar ceiling warms the space. The patio hits the sweet spot of being large enough for a group to gather by the fire or under cover for a meal, but small enough that it still feels cozy and inviting to relax alone with a good book. Follow a stone walkway to another patio and you’ll find a fire pit surrounded by Adirondack chairs — the perfect spot to chill under the stars.
28 | Oregon Home Private and Sophisticated Primary Suite With an eye to the future, the clients wanted a primary suite of their dreams on the main floor, and Metke delivered. A cedar ceiling mirrors the one on the outdoor patio, as does a stoneclad fireplace. Elder consulted on furniture selection, as well as procuring and custom designing many of the unique pieces used throughout the home. In the primary suite, she selected a slatecolored velvet upholstered bed that complements the slate-blue tile in the adjacent bath, where Calcutta marble subtly ties it all together. Custom designed live-edge walnut nightstands add to the moody vibe, as does an adjacent private covered deck with a hot tub. Wood and Stone Create Continuity Leaning into the rural setting, the clients opted for natural materials and wood furniture, with an eye to sophistication and functionality. Both the primary suite and living room feature stone fireplaces, as well as wood beams and fireplace mantels in similar finishes, to connect those indoor spaces with each other and with the outdoor living space that makes use of the same materials. Instead of painted woodwork, the homeowners opted for stained doors and wide, stained alder baseboards, complemented by a palette of rich paint colors. Reclaimed maple shows up in the living room coffee table and console. “All of the pieces have a story that the homeowners connect to on a personal level,” says Elder. “It’s not fussy. There is a quiet elegance that comes from the uniqueness of the pieces and materials.” Elder’s eye ensured that the wide variety of tones and textures played well together. “Some tones are deeper and darker, some are in the middle. We specifically didn’t try to match everything,” says Metke. “I hope that’s a trend that continues.” By listening carefully, the team at Metke ensured that every element of the home, from the generous entertaining areas to the intimate retreats, reflected the homeowners’ needs and aesthetics and turned their dreams into reality. metkeremodeling.com

32 | Oregon Home CUSTOM FIT: Capri Architecture CREATIVE Collaboration The challenge for Capri Architecture and Mike Riddle Construction was real: how to design and build a home in Pacific City on a unique cliffside lot on the Oregon Coast that dropped almost 30 feet down from the road. And not just design and build a home on the lot, but do it in a way that captured the property’s stunning Pacific Ocean vistas while keeping a street-level garage from taking over the site. “One of the biggest challenges was figuring out how to provide vehicle access but also preserving the upper levels for living space,” says Dustin Capri, who co-founded Capri Architecture in Newport with his wife and fellow architect, Amanda, in 2014. “There’s a very significant drop in topography, so if you don’t do something unique here, you’re going to lose the best views and the upper level is going to be dominated by a car.” Though the situation was a unique one, it was not unlike other projects that Capri and Mike Riddle Construction have worked on and creatively solved before. The two firms have been partnering on residential projects on the Coast since 2019 and have developed a unique collaboration that’s led to many satisfied customers. “We have discussions with Mike throughout the entire process,” Capri says. “There is a constant dialogue where Mike and his team are providing construction expertise and feedback as we’re working through the design. Every single time, the process just keeps getting better — and our customers are benefiting in the end.” Capri Architecture and Mike Riddle Construction work together to find unique building solutions on the Oregon Coast.

Oregon Home | 33 “I would say it’s atypical in the industry,” Mike Riddle says. “My typical analogy is that it’s like a farm: Most architects live in their own silos; same with builders and other subs. But with Capri, we have one giant barn, and we all work with each other very, very well. That’s critical to providing the level of quality that our clients demand.” To overcome the conundrum in Pacific City, Capri and Riddle approached it differently than many would. They figured out a way to tuck the garage down below on the hillside, which preserved the upper level for scenic living space set against expansive coastal views. Key to the solution was a concrete pedestrian bridge that links the top level of the home to the driveway. As a result, the upper floor hosts the main living space, which includes a wall of windows framing the Pacific, as well as a covered outdoor space and sundeck; bedrooms are one level down, and the garage is below on the ground floor. “Most architects and designers would have said there’s no real way to do this, we’re just going to have to put the garage on the top floor,” Riddle says. “That would have meant getting rid of the outdoor living area and sundeck and the living and dining rooms just to have a garage. With Capri, it’s all about creativity. It takes that creativity and willingness to step outside the comfort zone.” For more information, visit capriarchitecture.com and mikeriddleconstruction.com.

36 | Oregon Home CUSTOM FIT: Home Building Association of Greater Portland THREE GEMS CREATIVE BY JON BELL The annual home showcase broadens to a tour that includes all kinds of dream homes. STREETof The Hits the Road DREAMS
Oregon Home | 37 here was a time when the homes on the NW Natural Street of Dreams® were gigantic, opulent mansions with swimming pools and wine cellars, putting greens and indoor basketball courts. They truly were the kinds of homes most people could only dream about, which is what made the home showcase so much fun and so popular. But dreams can change — and so can the idea of dream homes. Which is why the NW Natural Street of Dreams of 2024 will look a little different than it did in the past. This year’s Street is bigger, broader and far wider than it’s ever been before, with nearly 20 homes of various sizes, styles and price ranges sprinkled across the entire metro region. The luxury component is still there, but the spectrum has been lengthened to create a tour that encompasses everything from apartments and condos to affordable townhomes, fantastic remodels and classic Street of Dreams custom homes. “The theme of this year’s event is based around the idea of ‘Because dreams are different,’” says Rachel Trice, Chief Membership and Marketing Officer for the Home Building Association of Greater Portland, which has produced the Street of Dreams since 1975. “We’re changing with the times and taking the Street of Dreams on tour to keep it modern and current.” Trice says the scattered-site format for the 2024 NW Natural Street of Dreams is something that has evolved in recent years, starting with the addition of “bonus homes” that were added to recent showcases. Those homes weren’t part of the main Street of Dreams site but were added to enhance the number of offerings and locations for showgoers. “Single-development sites are harder to come by these days,” Trice says, “but the on-tour format lets us expand the kinds of homes and the different places that people can experience.” This year’s NW Natural Street of Dreams will run for three extended weekends, Thursdays through Sundays, August 1-18. Attendees will be able to purchase one ticket and use it for all the different homes on the tour, which will feature 15 to 20 homes from at least 12 builders. The lineup includes luxury custom-built homes, high-end condos, apartments and, new this year, townhomes that are considered middle housing — the duplexes, cottage clusters and townhomes that have become an important component of the region’s housing puzzle. THREE GEMS CREATIVE THREE GEMS CREATIVE
38 | Oregon Home “Middle-housing provides a practical alternative that preserves the experience of a single-family detached home with many similar features,” says Darryl Bodle, a broker and owner of Darryl Bodle Real Estate in Portland. “It caters to those who value the dream of home ownership.” Middle housing projects from Dez Development and Aker Development will be part of this year’s NW Natural Street of Dreams alongside a three-townhome middle-housing project in North Portland by Fish Construction NW. Justin Wood, vice president and co-owner of Fish, says the townhomes are unique in that they are a little larger — 1,500 square feet with three bedrooms and two and a half bathrooms — to accommodate families. Their inclusion in the Street of Dreams in 2024 makes a lot of sense considering today’s housing market, he says. “I think the Street of Dreams has evolved to the point where ISABELLE EUBANKS ISABELLE EUBANKS
Oregon Home | 39 it’s more about presenting different ways to do things that people can visualize,” says Wood, who was involved with efforts to get middle housing legislation enacted in Oregon. “It’s not necessarily the dreams of millionaires but the dreams of everyone.” The tour will also feature two luxury condos in the Frances Penthouses in Lake Oswego; an apartment from Prometheus Real Estate Group in Northwest Portland’s Slabtown neighborhood; a container home from Relevant Buildings; and several luxury remodels from the likes of C&K Custom Remodeling, Portland General Contracting and Earth Choice Construction. In addition, five homebuilders will have custom homes on the tour: Garrette Custom Homes, JT Roth Construction, Toll Brothers, Exceptional Homes by Andre and Renaissance Homes, which built its first NW Natural Street of Dreams home in 1993. “The Street of Dreams allows us to showcase the unique talents of the Renaissance Homes team, as you will see with our home in the show this year,” says Randy Sebastian, president of Renaissance Homes. “The Sunningdale is a custom-designed, modern colonial home offering over 5,300 square feet of elevated luxury living.” Though Renaissance Homes has long been a part of the fixed-site Street of Dreams showcases, Sebastian says he is a fan of the tour format. “I like that the homes in this year’s NW Natural Street of Dreams are not limited to a specific neighborhood,” he says. “The on-tour style allows for more creativity and a variety of home styles and locations to highlight dream-home options in our region.” streetofdreamspdx.com THREE GEMS CREATIVE AKER DEVELOPMENT
40 | Oregon Home Sometimes the best mode of action when redoing a home is to listen to the house. That certainly held true for a family moving to Portland from Germany, who wanted to apply a more modern sensibility to a home on Portland’s Laurelhurst Park but was struggling with its overall layout. “This is such a special house,” says designer Ryan Harkrider of Wise Design, who helped on the project. “The more we talked to the clients about this house, the more attached they got to the traditional style of architecture.” The couple turned to Harkrider and design principal Annie Wise to achieve a balance between the choppy charm of an authentic 1918 Colonial and the serene flow of an open living space. Making these changes allowed the couple to strike a balance between their love of a midcentury aesthetic and modernism and their affection for the particularities of the home’s Colonial architecture. The couple hadn’t originally planned to completely redo the home. But during an initial renovation they discovered extensive fire damage on the second floor, so they became open to a larger project. The home’s transitions between rooms became vital. Wise Design was able to connect past to the present in the passageways between rooms, through larger structural changes between the indoor and outdoor living spaces, and in the aesthetic conversation between BEFORE

42 | Oregon Home Colonial detailing and modern elements throughout. The home’s new floorplan design called for larger cased openings between the main living areas and thicker walls and built-in bookshelves, custom cabinets in the entryway, and a clever solution at the front of the home for shoes. Wise Design reconfigured the whole while retaining classic Colonial elements like a front-to-back center hallway and of-the-era trimwork from McCoy Millwork, a Portland expert in historic moldings. “It really has a nice sense of openness now,” Wise says. The designers envisioned a family room where all members of the family could sit together on a sectional that filled the entire room. They wanted to give the family a protected space that was away from the general living space, and they also added beams, historic trimwork, and tuck-in lighting to give the room more character. “It operates kind of like a British snug,” Harkrider says. “It helps the space feel cozier.” For the second floor, Kristopher Celtnieks of Sasquatch Architecture completely redesigned the floor plan, adding a proper primary suite and en suite bathrooms for all of the children’s bedrooms. The designers didn’t want to give up too much space for a full laundry but were able to squeeze a washing machine and dryer into a small cubby. A separate office space accommodates the owner’s work-from-home lifestyle without too many interruptions from the children, who got a large thirdfloor room as a play space. “It’s going to be a playroom for a long time, a free-for-all kids’ room,” Wise says. The home’s entry hall retained the Colonial’s traditional frontto-back hallway. Wise Design kept the walls minimal in the dining room to showcase the family’s personal art collection. BEFORE

Oregon Home | 47 The greatest challenges came with the couple’s kitchen and the home’s relationship to its outdoor living space. The goal, Harkrider says, was to create a kitchen that looks like it was always there but has all of the amenities of modern living. “So often you walk into a historic home and say: Oh, 2003. Or 1970,” Harkrider says. “The people we are working with know that experience of looking at a dated kitchen. They love this home and wanted to do right by it.” Wise Design struck a balance between traditional and modern with Shaker-style doors, open shelving and full-height pantry storage. They chose a more modern off-black color for the cabinetry, contrasted with an off-white quartz, repeating some of the details that were used in the primary suite. They brought in warmth and softness with the wood details and brass figures. “We wanted to make the renovation feel like it belongs in that house,” Wise says. Indoor meets outdoor with a modern spin on the traditional Colonial gridded profile with a large sliding-glass wall and a window that can open fully for serving drinks poolside. Sasquatch Architecture remade the backyard spaces with zones including a swimming pool with a barrel floor designed to accommodate difficult space needs, a sauna, a cold plunge, a covered patio, and an outdoor shower. “The architect really nailed it from the beginning,” Wise says. “It’s just a dreamy backyard.” The backyard pool was designed to accommodate a difficult site.

Lifestyle will guide every aspect of the design. 2 Consider Your Climate. In the Pacific Northwest, choose durable, weather-resistant materials that can withstand the elements, and opt for native plants that thrive in the region’s climate with minimal maintenance. 3 Establish Zones. Divide your outdoor space into distinct zones based on functionality, like dining, lounging, cooking and green spaces. 4 Select Appropriate Furnishings. For furniture, opt for weatherproof materials such as teak, aluminum or synthetic wicker that can withstand exposure to sun and rain. And don’t forget storage for it all. 5 Incorporate Shade and Shelter. Options for shade include umbrellas, pergolas, awnings and shade sails, while shelters like gazebos or outdoor rooms provide additional protection and privacy. 6 Add Light for Ambience. Enjoy your space into the evening with task lighting for functional areas such as cooking and dining, ambient lighting for creating mood and atmosphere, and accent lighting to highlight architectural features and landscaping. 7 Add Greenery. Incorporate a variety of plantings — including trees, shrubs, flowers and potted plants — to create a lush and inviting environment. Vertical gardens, hanging baskets and trellises are excellent space-saving options for smaller outdoor areas. 8 Personalize With Decor and Accessories. Infuse your outdoor space with personality and style through carefully chosen decor and accessories. Incorporate elements that reflect your tastes and interests, such as outdoor rugs, throw pillows, artwork and decorative accents. 9 Enhance With Water Features. Water features such as fountains, ponds or waterfalls add a soothing element. The sound of running water can create a sense of tranquility and mask unwanted noise from neighboring properties or traffic. 10 Embrace Sustainability. Design your outdoor living space with sustainability in mind by choosing eco-friendly materials, incorporating energy-efficient lighting and implementing water-saving landscaping techniques. Consider installing a rainwater-harvesting system or a compost bin to reduce your environmental impact. Start Here: Planning for an Outdoor Living Space Outdoor living has evolved from a simple patio with a few chairs to a fully integrated extension of the home. Here’s how to start.

Oregon Home | 57 57 | Oregon Home Portland’s Plant Daddy Wherever the Bloke Botanical founder goes, he leaves a trail of joy.
58 | Oregon Home The founder of Bloke Botanical — a plant shop, florist, and landscaping company tucked in a gated lot between print shop Studio Olivine and Bernstein’s Bagels in North Portland — Waddell spends his days shuttling between garden projects and a shop-in-shop he just opened at Maison, Inc. on Northwest Roosevelt Street. Bloke wasn’t always as garden-heavy as it is today. When Waddell launched Bloke in 2010, his goal was simple: Sell wreaths, floral boxes and bird feeders made from found objects around the city to raise money for a down payment on his first house. But times changed, and soon he was riding the national houseplant boom, designing residential gardens and serving the city’s pandemic-era gardenobsessed crowd. “It’s been a wild ride,” Waddell says. “I did one garden and got a dozen calls.” In 2020, when wildfires devastated the West, he launched the seasonal pop-up event that turned him into the city’s top salesman of temporal enchantment: Flower Church. Every Sunday during the late spring and summer months, Waddell stages a cut-flower sale in Bloke’s 17-by-100-foot outdoor retail space with floral artist Umbelflora and vintage shop Fabius Grange, filling the yard with silver buckets of seasonal blooms. He started it as an antidote to the toxic religious upbringing he experienced as a gay man. “The lift is for the community — it’s a sweet energy,” Waddell says. “You go through these big, beautiful gates and this place becomes your serenity room.” More events followed. Now Bloke does a regular Pumpkin Palace in the fall (think dozens of varieties serving people who buy enough gourds to fill entire porches), Christmas trees and vintage blow-mold Santas in winter. But his latest foray involves sourcing a wide range of ceramic containers for plantings that can be moved around the yard for maximum impact. “My garden designs have always been pottery-heavy,” he says. “It really elevates the whole look.” Justin Waddell works from sunup through sundown to bring people moments of happiness. boil glaze black clay Gartenmeister Fuchsia, Sweet Potato Vine, Helichrysum White Licorice, Variegated Fancy Leaf Geranium, Fine Line Buckthorn Rhamnus, White Fuchsia, Japanese Cryptomeria, Fairytale Bride Hydrangea Papyrus Nile Queen, Asparagus Fern, Tree Philodendron, Boxwood Conical Topiary

Oregon Home | 65 CHEF AT HOME: WHEN JUDIAANN WOO has guests over to her condo in Tigard, she loves to share what she calls “genius recipes.” “These recipes produce a ’Wow!‘ every time I serve them,” Woo says. The tastemaker, social media strategist and host of the podcast Food People Are the Best People often plates up for guests her Baby Dutch Baby pancakes, a recipe based on one she first learned in seventh grade home economics. She has since adapted the basic brunch staple into small, muffin-size puffs. “I actually prefer the individual ones because they cook faster and have more edge-tocenter ratio — my family’s favorite part,” Woo says. Add them to a bar snack or serve them as she does here, alongside her summer salad and an Oregon berry smoothie for a laid-back event. “I love making something low-effort and high-reward,” Woo says.

Oregon Home | 67 Baby Dutch Baby Pancakes Serves 2 Ingredients: • 3 large eggs • 1/2 C all-purpose flour • 1/2 C milk • 1 T sugar • 1/2 t kosher salt • 3 T cold unsalted butter; cut each tablespoon into fourths to make 12 equally sized pieces To Serve: • 1 lemon, cut into wedges • Powdered sugar for dusting Preparation: Preheat the oven and muffin tin on the middle oven rack to 425◦ F. In a bowl, whisk together eggs, flour, milk, sugar, and salt. The batter will be a little lumpy and that’s OK. When the oven temperature has reached 425◦ F, remove the hot muffin tin from the oven and add a small square of butter into each muffin well. Swirl pan to melt butter. Pour batter into each well, about a third of the way full, dividing the batter equally. Return muffin tin to the oven and bake undisturbed for 15 minutes until puffed and edges are deep golden brown. Serving Suggestion: Unmold and serve immediately with lemon wedges and plenty of powdered sugar for spooning or dusting over. Note: This recipe can also be used to make one large Dutch Baby pancake. Preheat a seasoned cast-iron pan in the oven to 425◦ F and follow the same recipe and technique, but increase the butter to 4 tablespoons. Bake time may differ depending on the size of the pan. Bake until puffed and the sides are deeply golden brown.
