This existing home is perched atop the beautiful Deschutes River canyon in the heart of Bend. The original floor plan and subsequent additions created a series of small rooms and lacked both interior cohesiveness and connectivity to the amazing views. The home was re-organized and refinished completely, including new windows and doors throughout. In the great room, walls were removed and ceilings raised to create a single, vaulted space wrapping two sides of the house. A venetian plaster fireplace and a commercial range with hood and tile backdrop anchor the interior ends, while new, larger windows open up the river view entirely. Splashes of color, warm wood tones and neutral finishes create a comfortable backdrop for the landscape beyond.
