Nordby Design Architecture & Interiors, in partnership with Mountainwood Homes, has beautifully designed this light-filled modern home nestled on 4 acres in West Linn, Oregon. This 6,900 square-foot custom dwelling boasts five bedrooms and five bathrooms and is an entertainer’s dream with large outdoor patios, a wine room, a home gym, a media room, and a sauna.
Natural light was a very important element in the design of the home. The beautiful windows bring the outdoors in and frame the wooded setting. It was important to balance current design selections that looked beautiful and were reasonable for the budget.
The material selections feature a neutral palette. Walnut cabinets with flat finish play off the polished countertops. The mix of stone columns, wood, and sophisticated palette create a peaceful retreat.
Design Challenges:
-
Selecting materials that would keep the budget down
-
The well did not produce enough water to the house
-
All doors feature milcore door jambs, which means there is no trim; the drywall tucks right into the edge of the door
-
The round master bathtub was an important element to have in the corner for the homeowner
Solutions:
-
Provided 1200 gallons of storage water in the basement with a water treatment system
-
For milcore door jambs, the architects were very precise in the framing and door installation process
-
The owner’s tub is a unique design with no tub filler and is unusually deep, so the architect built a custom step to get into the tub
What We Love: This light-filled modern home features large windows to not only bring in natural light but also frame views of nature. Although modern in design, the material palette offers inviting warmth, making this home ideal for family living. Overall, it is a beautifully designed home with tranquil views and a relaxed vibe.
