I can never tell what kind of taste a person has when I meet them. I remember the first day I met this very sweet, humble, retired couple on Magnolia Ct to look at their lot. Never ever would I have guessed “modern Scandinavian” style. This project was a joy to put together and I am so glad it turned out beautifully! We hope it provides many happy years.

We’re currently getting to watch Lance Kessler Construction Inc. build this Mid-Century inspired beauty for our wonderful clients!

This amazing couple has great taste and we are honored that they chose us to help them design their forever home in📍Brookings, OR. On this project, we prioritized the living experience over hitting a high square footage number. Those priorities include :

- Using a fun building form to create a wonderful and unique interior natural light experience through strategically placed windows.

- Specifically framing desirable outside views with identified window shapes and locations to increase the feeling of seclusion on this site.

- Creating a unique single level living experience on a challenging lot to allow for aging-in-place so this home can be enjoyed through all stages of life.

We love getting to design places for people, stay tuned to see more of what we’ve been up to this year!

Too much wood? Not enough bathrooms? This Lindal Cedar home gave us a fun and challenging remodel project! These kit homes are built with solid cedar timbers stacked like Lincoln Logs—my favorite childhood game, but hard to change their structure in real life. The master bedroom loft was open to the living room, which did not provide enough privacy for this family. We converted the open master suite into a private master suite with private outside deck, plus a guest room/office, guest bath, and laundry space. Painted walls and railings, and dark stained oak floors reduced the overwhelming amount of exposed cedar color. The result is a much more livable home with the delightful contrast of a varied material palette.

surveying his team’s work on this extraordinary fitness room—a 16’ high aerial yoga space on the ground floor of this home. My biggest curiosity when building starts is whether the space will feel the way I envisioned. Thankfully it almost always feels as good or better than I expected!

We should see this beach home going up soon! The form of a home is the result of various forces pushing and pulling on the design. In this case a lot of square feet is placed on a smaller homesite, while maximizing the view over the dunes to the beach…go high, go wide! The owners are a cool couple looking forward to life on the beach!

Credit to JD for leading this design as the Sanct team took the owner’s concept and refined it into a home that is going to live large and be a beautiful place to recline and enjoy the Oregon coast views.

Excited to see this beachfront project get underway! We’re ready for concrete after Dusty Watson’s team removed about 8 feet of soil and put it back 8 inches at a time. It looks great! Ready for a home now via Justin Champlain & Dusty Watson.

Last week Siena Worthey took this light play shot at our office window. Siena’s portrait photography earned Silver last week in the Curry Coastal Pilot Reader’s Choice Awards. She has a great eye and a fun personality for capturing great portraits!

The Sanct team is out at the Azalea Festival Parade remembering those who haven’t returned this Memorial Day. We’re all smiles, but we aim to honor their sacrifices by living and serving with all our gifts, abilities, and resources. That includes enjoying our freedoms and blessings with gratitude and encouraging others. If you’re part of our family, we’re thankful for you too!

This year’s banners are in honor of my friends, Lieutenants Warren “Jerky” Sneed and Luke “Stiff” Johnson. Gone but not forgotten. Blue skies!
