Projects
Studio Penthouse
Located in downtown Portland, local design firm JHL Design Inc.’s Studio Penthouse is a historic loft-turned-tech office space, complete with natural wood interiors, exposed concrete walls, and no-frills hardware to match.
Arch Cape
Completed in 2018, this home in Arch Cape, along the Oregon coast, is the ideal retreat for anyone with an affinity for ocean air and a sandy hideout. This project was a labor of love for owners Mark and Laurie Engberg, in particular.
Seattle Showroom
Chown Hardware's New Seattle Showroom is By Designers, For Designers. Imagined by Portland design firm and long-time Chown customers, Weedman Design Partners, the showroom is as detail-oriented as its clients. Launched in July 2020, the third showroom for the fifth-generation family business showcases Chown’s extensive product offerings through bright, minimalist interiors and a flexible layout.
Dyer Studios
Hidden in the urban and suburban North Tabor neighborhood of Portland, OR is a classic, 1921 Craftsman home recently renovated for form and function. Chown partnered with the home’s designer, Dyer Studio, to ensure all fixtures met the project’s historic aesthetic and homeowner’s unique color palate.
Smuland
A modern kitchen remodel located in Bend, Oregon, this design by Kirsti Wolfe and Karen Smuland Architects for Karen’s 1927 Tudor-style home was completed in the summer of 2019.
Pearl District Condo
Working with clients like Greg Sprando Construction and Turtle Mountain is a blessing. Their eye for quality craftsmanship and keen execution of design forward construction take front stage in this small condo project, maximizing every fine detail.
Tender House & Floating Home
Aptly christened the "water temple" by the owner, Kimberly DeMent. This fond reference speaks to the deliberate choice of its owner to be as close to the life of the river as possible.
A Seattle Home in its Natural Environment
For the Hidden Cove residence in Seattle, it was a Japanese bonsai garden that inspired the design.
The Sky’s the Limit
James and Kricken have designed and remodeled every home they’ve lived in, but this was the first home they designed and built for themselves from the ground up.
Inspiration to Transformation: Issaquah Showcase
Builders, designers, and manufacturers understand that quality is crucial for both the design and functionality of hardware.
Inspiration to Transformation: Goose Hollow Showcase
Chown Hardware was trusted to provide fixtures on all four floors of the home that both maintained its historical integrity and met the high standards of quality and design for the home’s designer, Emerick Architects.
Houghton by Taylor Building and Design
The Houghton project, envisioned and built by Taylor Building & Design, is a timeless display of modern, contemporary design. It was a privilege working with Kolin Taylor while he and I coordinated the hardware and plumbing components for the home.
The Project 18th by Penny Black Interiors
The Project 18th was a wonderful Victorian revival that I had the pleasure of working on with Stewart Horner of Penny Black Interiors.
