Rose City Park Residence
Portland, Oregon | 2010
Kina assisted in the renovation of this early 1900s-era Northeast Portland home which focused on reimagining the layout of the existing, boxy interior spaces into more functional interconnected living areas. The design intent was to create ‘extended living’ to lengthen seasonal indoor and outdoor uses of the home, update the home’s thermal performance, and provide more openness on both levels to allow daylight deeper into the house.
Porch, entry foyer, and new interior stair location were re-configured at the first level. Deconstruction and re-framing of the second-level roof to increase insulation provides for more space and selected views.
