It was such a joy capturing these two stunning Colombia River George creations for the visionaries at Placecraft Design & Build. They are a heart centered, conscious company with the most beautiful ethos: “We look at the big picture. All of us are connected to each other and are a part of the natural world. The health and resiliency of each individual is critical to the wellbeing of the whole. A home is comprised of threads in an infinite fabric of systems and cycles. Our work is guided by three core principles: It’s got to be good for the planet, good for the people and provide fair access to resources."
We are committed to the earth beneath our feet. Our decision-making operates around life, active healing, creation.”
LARCH MOUNTAIN REMODEL -- In a close collaboration with the homeowner, Placecraft transformed a dated fixer-upper into a fresh and tranquil home. The jewel of the project was adding a dormer and doubling the size of the bathroom to create a soaking sanctuary where one can unwind surrounded by the scents and lushness of maples.

THE KINSHIP -- Perched on a sun drenched slope overlooking a sea of alder, maple, wild cherry and fir, this is a cozy two-story cabin for a couple dove-tailed with a ceremonial space in the round for community gatherings.
