Northeast Portland Foursquare Style home
This beautiful Portland Foursquare Style home in Northeast Portland needed upgrading and additional space to create a work center for a growing family. A two story addition was incorporated into the project to include a very complicated “moment frame” at the back corner of the home providing lateral support for the structure. This was engineered and required special inspections. It also provided an opportunity for some creative design work. The steel beams were hidden behind the cabinetry and added some dimension to the inside of the kitchen area. A message center for doing homework and running a small home based business was included in the kitchen renovation project. French doors, pendant lights, a window seat, and a small deck were added to make this kitchen remodeling project one that provides an excellent display of Period Style Craftsmanship, a place for great family times together and entertaining guests while bringing the outdoors in!
