Who:<\/strong> Remodel & Renovation of a Midcentury Ranch<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Challenge<\/b>:<\/span><\/p>\n

Well\u00a0constructed, but a bit outdated, this split level mid-century ranch in Portland, OR required a much-needed\u00a0facelift to usher it into the modern era.\u00a0<\/span>Typical of homes built during the time period, certain s<\/span>ections of the house were\u00a0more closed off than the open floor plans we see\u00a0today. The kitchen was dim and boxy, while the living space felt small and uninviting. The new\u00a0occupants-a young married couple with 2 kids (and another on the way), required a home that balanced design and spaciousness to accommodate their growing family.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The challenge was to keep the spirit of the mid-century style while\u00a0addressing the needs of a functional contemporary\u00a0home.<\/p>\n

Solution<\/b>:<\/span><\/p>\n

Luckily, remodels and renovations are what the M.O.Daby design team does best. Angela and Matt rolled up their creative sleeves and started by reevaluating and redesigning the floor plan. They started off by removing walls-connecting the kitchen, dining and living room. Next, they reoriented the kitchen layout to run parallel with the backyard and added glass sliding doors along the back of the house to create more natural light. To increase space, they added a\u00a0small section to the house to lend an extra bedroom, while reshaping the master suite.<\/span><\/p>\n

They finished it off by focusing on the details. New kitchen tiling exemplified the mid-century look, along with globe and the under-cabinet lights from Destination Lighting\u00a0to keep the\u00a0counters looking fresh and clean.<\/p>\n

We consider\u00a0this mid-century ranch project a highly successful transformation from an aging habitat to a modern masterpiece.<\/span><\/p>\n
