It looks official. We will be moving to the Duplex in Sellwood, Portland, Oregon. Luckily we get the first floor which is mostly livable. The in laws will take the almost livable 2nd floor while we build out the basement for them. There is a loft that needs a full build out too. This will become the new master suite for the 2nd floor unit. This new house will give me the opportunity to utilize the skills from the TMCC Architecture Degree I received and also see the layout and planing skills in action from the drafting company. It has been a few years since any major construction work, but I am ready and excited to charge forward. Thanks in advance to Dean and Tia for the opportunity to explore some exciting design opportunities in the basement space. The juxtaposition between the classic home above and the contempory loft space below is exciting and new.
The Sellwood Remodel is my side project while waiting to get residency for Architecture school. This blog is designed to force me to document the process of the changes the home will undergo, offer me an opportunity to vent, throw out ideas and utilize the tools of our modern society. Please forgive my crude writing style, this is an additional point for improvement.
