Holmgren-Traylor Residence
This 1954 Hillside Ranch is located in Southwest Portland’s Hillsdale-Bridlemile neighborhood. Our goal was to keep the project as “green” as possible. The exterior trellis was unstable and smaller than the patio and needed replacement. We constructed a beautiful new Cedar Trellis from Forest Sustainability Council certified timber, re-painted the exterior of the home with Low-VOC paint, and constructed a landscape wall and steps with interlocking concrete stones. Our use of FSC certified timber allowed us to order the wood cut to the size we needed. This resulted in less than a single trash bag worth of waste lumber. Our impact on the environment was mitigated on a job well done!
