From the Representative: “After more than twenty years working at Nike, Chris and Megan Carle started imagining a home that showed their active Pacific Northwest way of life and the architectural impacts they had appreciated while taking a trip the world. Drawn to the viewpoint of midcentury developer Joseph Eichler, they began browsing Portland’s restricted stock of genuine midcentury homes. They ultimately discovered a 1957 post-and-beam house tucked into a previous fruit orchard, surrounded by enormous heritage oak trees. Portland architect Risa Boyer assisted guide the style, while high-performance contractor Josh Salinger advised on accomplishing a durable, energy-efficient building envelope. Instead of changing the footprint or design, the remodelling focused on reconstructing the home from the inside out while preserving its defining architectural functions, consisting of the dramatic risen post-and-beam ceilings that welcome visitors upon entry. Taken down to the studs, the home was reconstructed with meticulous attention to performance and convenience. At the heart of the house sits a generous chef’s cooking area, equipped with Miele home appliances and Sub-Zero refrigeration surrounding a big main island. A reengineered rear wall introduces a big multislider door system, opening the kitchen and living-room to a courtyard backyard and pool. Stephanie Kjar Roth of Foxy Den encouraged on enhancing the interior material scheme, guaranteeing a cohesive balance of woods, ceramics, and natural textures. Curated with interior designer Allie McGory of Lille House, the interiors mix Scandinavian restraint with midcentury icons, consisting of Eames and De La Espada pieces, and a vintage DK3 shelving system.”
