Outdoor living

Every aspect of 1118 Woof Ranch can be customized—from the color of the siding to the placement of the integrated dog bowls.

1118 Woof Ranch by Pijuan Design Workshop keeps your pup cool—inside or out. A wide eave protects a deck covered in artificial turf, while also providing passive ventilation for the interior.

Rah: Design was founded by Rahil Taj as a multidisciplinary design and fabrication studio in Los Angeles. The MDK9 Dog Haus pairs Brazilian teak and powder-coated steel with a concrete base. Taj left no detail unconsidered in the design, partnering with Modern House Numbers for customizable name plaques, as well as Jax & Bones for luxe memory foam bedding.

The Beam House is an ode to the classic indoor/outdoor California lifestyle, and it riffs on the architecture of Orange County. Its walls are clad in clean-lined vertical siding and topped with clerestory windows. The flat roof sports pronounced eaves.

Los Angeles–based Pijuan Design Workshop is helmed by a dog-loving couple who studied architecture at USC. Their models, like the Beam House, are inspired by iconic midcentury modern forms.

What Carstensen saved on labor costs he was able to put into furnishings. The interior of the screened-in porch is outfitted with a mix of furnishings, both vintage and new. He purchased the vintage Malm fireplace in Los Angeles on a work trip and had it shipped to Portland. The rug, shelf unit, and loveseat are all from the locally-based Schoolhouse Electric, as are the ceiling lights: Factory Light No. 7 in Green.
