Dot House at night

An art deco drinks trolley was repurposed as a bathroom vanity. All fixtures are low-flow.

Shielded by overhanging eaves, ample northern glazing lets in an abundance of natural light and views of the outdoors.

Recycled timbers are used throughout the home from the curved bench to the joinery in the kitchen. The kitchen also connects to a cold-store walk-in pantry that’s cooled with an in-slab ventilation pipe funneling cool under-house air.

A timber window seat is surrounded by secret storage cabinets, adding functionality to otherwise unused space.

Simple joinery introduces contemporary details into the revamped kitchen space.

The new addition, only visible from the backyard, echoes the gabled form of the original home. Large openings connect the main living spaces with the backyard.

The kids’ rooms all feature built-in raised platform beds.

The lower level houses the primary suite with a soaking tub and sauna, as well as three additional bedrooms and a full bathroom.

A custom steel fireplace by Formed Objects was also added during the phase-one renovation.

During the first phase of the renovation by Paul McKean Architecture, the kitchen was fully renovated with quartz countertops, stainless-steel backsplash, and new cabinets with detailing designed to match the original millwork. “Two under-counter KitchenAid refrigerators were added along with a new dishwasher, induction cooktop, and electric oven,” says the listing agent.

Noted Portland architect Richard Campbell designed this two-story residence on a wooded lot in Portland’s Highland Crest neighborhood as his primary home. After it was completed in 1966, the house received a 1979 addition by architect Gary Michael. It was later restored and renovated by Paul McKean Architecture in two phases, from 2011 to 2013 and 2018 through 2019.
