Some designers are lucky enough to find projects with excellent beginnings. That was Jessica Helgerson's experience when the designer based in Oregon and Paris, who started a number of flatweave carpets this month, recently began an intestinal renovation for a family of five in Portland.
With a view of the Willamette River and the summit of Mount Hood, the house of the early 1900s was designed by the famous Northwest architect Wade Pipes, which spread an architectural style in the region, which emphasized natural materials, which are known as arts and craft residential architecture.
Helgerson added the breakfast corner to the original footprint of the house. The work of art (left) from Miró served as a reference for the colors of the ceiling and banquets.
Helgerson, who describes its design approach as “reaction fast”, expanded the original design of pipes by building a new garage with three cars and converting the existing into a mudroom and washroom. She also added a breakfast corners to the kitchen. The customers brought their museum -worthy art collection into the house, including an extensive collection of over 30 pieces by Alexander Calder, Joan Miró and Pablo Picasso. These works were inspiration for the following design.
“I wanted art to settle and not struggle with the room, but feel of it,” said Helgerson, describing the project as an opportunity to include the art that felt deliberately felt, but “the whole thing does not dominate”.
In the attic bedroom, Helgerson opened the ceiling, picked them up to its climax and designed the metal rays for structural support. The beds are antique.
In order to achieve this goal, Helgerson pulled the basic colors from the bold works of art and wore this scheme throughout the house. When you walk through the front door, Benjamin Moores Abenduve greets you, a gray -blue shade that makes an inviting statement. The blue topic continues in the dining room and the bar with Farrow & Ball's Steifkey Blue, a subdued blue that is accentuated by Calder's Windmill And 2 suns Works of art. In the living room she planned the space renovation to place Mirós placement On four walls, A focus over the chimney coat. The soft blue Sisal from Holland & Sherry covers the walls and acts as a background for the kalder that are littered in the room. The dark meat walls in the family room are enlivened with a colorful Miró. And a Bifold panel above the coat strategically hides the television so that the room as a place can act as a place and as a entertainment of the guests.
The kitchen breakfast corners and cupboards reflect the blue and steamed red in Miro's Stencil constellationsWhat hangs on the adjacent wall. And the yellow, which was found throughout the art collection, go up to the attic bedroom, where Helgerson lifted the bedroom ceilings to their peaks, added cupboards and trimms and painted the room in Hay from Farrow & Ball.
“I love the design puzzle and how to solve it in a way that feels beautiful and authentic,” said Helgerson.
