On a compact corner lot in Northwest Portland, the Thurman House packs a lot into a small footprint. The L-shaped home wraps around a private courtyard, creating a quiet retreat from the surrounding streets while large windows, clerestories and a vaulted ceiling bring light and openness inside.
Vertical cedar siding, clean exterior panels and concrete landscape walls give the home its distinctive character. Careful construction throughout brings together the materials, details and simple forms that make this urban home feel both expansive and private.
