Modern Beach House Remodel
Modern Beach House Remodel
Whole House Renovation in Arch Cape, OR
Originally from Salt Lake City, this client was drawn to the quiet cove of Arch Cape for his full-time move to the beach. The 1980s house was not in good shape when he found it, but its oceanfront site and solid bones made it worthy of a gut renovation.
We kept the brick fireplaces and timber elements of the house, but opened up the rooms, and added a back deck to capture spectacular views. A chic, vintage-modern sensibility expresses the owner's desire to have a coast home without sacrificing his city background and tastes. A dark, moody palette gets a lift from pops of color.

Shapeshifting
Lozenge-shaped hex tile in both bathrooms echo the kitchen scheme, and convey the owner's love of midmod design motifs.
Bright + dark
The guest bath continues the theme of dark cabinetry with a splash of bold tile.
Thrift store style
The owner sourced all artwork for the home from thrift stores, mixing eclectic kitsch and midcentury ephemera into the decor.
Living room before + after
The owner loved the home's brick fireplace and trusses, so we kept them. Roll over to see the living room before + after.
