Excerpt from an article on Portland Modern, August 2009.
Architect Paul Pavlock drafted a study on how he might rework the existing house. "I became intrigued with the house when Bob asked me to draw the existing floor plans when the house went on the market," says Paul. "The first thing you notice about the house, of course is the steep driveway. But once you're up it you realize what a wonderful site it is and that the existing house makes some good responses to the lot. What sort of drove my thinking was how to help the driveway issue and then how to expand upon the relationship the house has to the site."
He removed the spiral staircase, and changed the location of the stairway and the main entrance. Glass walls on either end bring the trees in and fill the space with light.
Changing the window package and re-cladding the envelope for a unified and more monolithic look could go a long way in establishing a modern architectural identity. "Keeping the exterior color palate a dark, base 4 scheme would blend it into the forested setting."
