Country Club Reimagination
Tucked into a beautiful west-side spot in Hood River, this home was ready to reconnect with its surroundings. Originally built as a simple, no-frills structure, it had been expanded and tweaked over time to keep up with the needs of a growing family. Those quick fixes did the job, but they left the house without a clear vision. Natural light was limited, the flow between spaces felt disjointed, and the garage dominated the entry — not exactly the warm welcome our clients had in mind.
Through a series of design studies, we’ve reimagined the home from top to bottom. The biggest change: a new upper level that puts all the bedrooms together, giving family life below a bit more breathing room. On the main level, we reorganized everything around a bright, central kitchen — the true hub of the home. Shared spaces now feel open and connected, yet can easily shift to be more private when needed.
A new front entry replaces the old garage-facing approach, setting a clear, welcoming tone right from the start. Updated proportions and detailing bring a sense of balance, blending traditional warmth with a modern, easygoing character. The result is a home that feels cohesive, comfortable, and ready for the next chapter — a place where this young family can grow and stay closely connected to the landscape around them.
