Mediterranean Home Remodel Wins Portland Remodeling Award

Posted by Lane Cooper on Oct 20, 2017 10:13:00 AM

This 5,000-square-foot Mediterranean-style home was designed and built in 1926 by architect Robert B. Beat, a sought-after designer in the interwar years in Portland, Oregon. The recent whole-house remodel by COOPER Design Builders, attentive to the historic character of the house, won a 2017 Structure + Style Award from Oregon Home magazine and was featured on the Professional Remodelers Organization’s annual Tour of Remodeled Homes.

The remodel harmonizes the property’s original Mediterranean character with a clean, fresh aesthetic incorporating contemporary function and space planning. COOPER Design Build added seismic upgrades for earthquake resilience and water-penetration mitigation to help the home weather Pacific Northwest winters.

As you enter the home, a grand wrought-iron staircase greets you in the formal foyer, and a circular floor plan expands around you.

The spaciousness of the main level is balanced by an intimacy provided by the distinct yet interconnected spaces including a solarium, a formal living room with built-in bookcases, and a breakfast nook with French doors leading out to the backyard.
