ARCIFORM revived the home from the outside in, beginning with the roof and replacing burnt siding and framing to match the original. Inside, we moved the main stairwell and reconfigured the second-floor layout. We repaired or replaced interior millwork that was charred and damaged, updated the systems while the walls were open and repaired doors and windows. Historic paint colors, period-appropriate light fixtures and décor collected from North Portland shops all came together to make the house a home again.

KITCHEN

The kitchen had been completely burnt. The clients wanted the new kitchen to be simple and open, like the kitchens they’d found in Europe. We installed salvaged Fir flooring, custom Versatile Wood Products cabinetry and a cozy built-in bench.
