Designed by the architect, for the architect. Situated in South Tabor, this modern custom home was designed by THESIS Studio Architecture to be a counterpoint to typical infill new construction. As a result, the design emphasizes the positioning of building elements on the site alongside carefully positioned windows, strategically preserving the privacy of rooms from the neighboring structures as well as flooding natural light throughout the spaces. It prioritizes quality, functionality + beauty. The house’s extroverted space is in the back, where a central outdoor “room” becomes an intimate gathering place. Indoors the floor plan unifies the common area with a highly functional + elegant kitchen, dining + living rooms rendered in a distinctly Scandinavian materiality. Boasting natural quartzite counters, custom cabinets + an opulent Monogram appliance package, the kitchen serves as the anchor to this energy-efficient abode. The main level fourth bedroom serves as a flex space: dedicated work-from-home HQ, guest quarters or a hobbyist den. Seasonal peekaboo views of Mt. Tabor and Mt. Hood available through Marvin Elevate series windows by day with motorized Shade Store blinds to tuck you in at night. High efficiency whole-home HVAC and on-demand water heating quietly keeps the home comfortable + utility costs down. Enjoy the intimate spa-like primary ensuite with a curbless shower, soaking tub + radiant floors. The insulated detached garage offers a hub for recreation + fitness while maintaining ample car or toy storage. With a 100 amp subpanel, it's ready for your mini-split. Juice up your EV everyday with your own Wallbox charger. At just over 2,100 SF, the residence is designed with comfort but pragmatism in mind: no wasted space, a “less is more” approach while meeting the demands of the modern life.
