Japanese Style Remodel

This project was a complete remodel of an old Portland ranch that had been remodeled many times before. 95% of this home was resurfaced or recovered. John Chlopek of Riverland Homes designed the home to create a restful surrounding with a Japanese country home theme. The half-acre Japanese gardens become part of the living space through large wood windows and natural fir woodwork throughout. Granite counters, slate floor, teak woodwork and antique heart pine flooring create an eloquent cozy place to retire to after a day of work. Special emphasis in design was given to low maintenance living and hidden storage, giving the home a clean elegant feel. This project was completed in 8 months.
