Risa Boyer Architecture in collaboration with James Frank Construction is responsible for this mid-century ranch renovation located on a quiet, shaded street in Northwest Portland, Oregon. The project entailed a new home and a kitchen with skylights for a pastry chef and her family. The kitchen was opened up to an outdoor eating area and connected to the dining room and living room.
A cozy window seat and desk area provide a place for the kids to hang out while mom is baking. The living room was vaulted and a 20’ multi-slide door opens the living room to a pool and deck. A small den space was carved out of an original bedroom to create a place for the kids to play and watch tv but stay connected to the main living space. The finished result is a warm and inviting home for a young family.

What We Love: This mid-century ranch house offers a young family the opportunity to reimagine their home to meet their lifestyle needs. A small and cramped kitchen is now open and airy with plenty of counter space — idyllic for a professional pastry chef! We are loving the integrated sliding glass doors and the skylights in the kitchen and dining room, creating a home that feels spacious and bright.

Above: This transformed kitchen was opened up by removing a few of the walls to create a stronger connection with the side yard via bi-folding doors. The custom cabinets are walnut, while the countertops are quartz.
Above: The brick fireplace was clad in walnut panels that wrap around the side creating built-in storage.
Above: For the kids and the cat to lounge and play a small sitting room was devised just off the living room with telescoping pocketing walnut doors.
Above: A window seat was boxed out on the side of the kitchen to form a cozy nook for reading and work at a small built-in desk.
