A penthouse at the iconic pink Envoy in uptown Portland received a modern facelift when interior designer Garrison Hullinger and Olson & Jones Construction joined forces. The new design preserved the unit’s striking steel windows and paid homage to the building’s historic roots.

Northwest winemakers continue to garner national attention. This time for our Syrahs. Though these full-bodied red grapes are normally grown in warmer regions around the world, turns out,

MODERN COMPOUND written by DONNA PIZZI photography by BLACKSTONE EDGE STUDIOS

SPECTACULAR THINGS HAPPENED WHEN THESE HOMEOWNERS, ARMED WITH A CLEAR VISION OF THE ULTRA-MODERN HOME THEY WANTED TO CREATE, TEAMED WITH SHANNON PONCIANO OF PONCIANO DESIGN AND CRAIG MOODY OF NORTHWEST CLASSIC HOMES FOR THE THIRD TIME TO CREATE A HOME LIKE NO OTHER.

A fireplace cantilevers dramatically off a structural marble pillar and concrete base. Roche Bobois Scenario sectional.

WHEN CRAIG MOODY OF NORTHWEST CLASSIC HOMES in Vancouver, Washington, introduced Shannon Ponciano of Ponciano Design in Portland, Oregon, to these homeowners—Las Vegas natives who relocated to the Pacific Northwest seven years ago—a uniquely creative triumvirate was formed. After working successfully on two previous homes, the trio began work on this 14,000 sq. ft. modern home overlooking the water three and a half years ago.

“The homeowners, who now have four children, love to travel, collect art, play and watch sports and entertain, purchased a lot with a small 1960s home they razed to make way for their vision of modern compound family living,” recalls Ponciano.

Ponciano attended meetings with home designer Eric Schnell of Alan Mascord Design Associates, Inc. whose passion is contemporary architecture, to ensure the design was expressly tailored to the family’s vision. “I’ve gotten to know how the family lives and what they like and feel, so I was able to implement their vision by providing lots of texture, color and warmth built into the modern, open space.”

Ponciano presented the couple with inspirational images, ideas and materials that included digital renderings. Schnell’s challenge was to create a home with grand spaces for entertaining, bowling and more intimate private spaces. Sometimes what works on paper, says Moody, needs tweaking on site. “Craig and I also developed solutions for a lot of the modern floating and cantilevered elements,” says Ponciano.

“As we were framing up the fireplace,” recalls Moody, “everyone realized it needed to be altered to open up the space for more impact.”

“The pillar was structural,” adds Ponciano, “but to prevent it dividing the space, we married the two areas by re-engineering the fireplace base with steel to hold the weight of the concrete and marble that give it a cantilevered look.”

One entire staircase drawn near the entry was eliminated altogether to avoid blocking the view out to the water. While designing the glass wine cellar, which separates the dining room with its spectacular 19’ black metal and blown glass chandelier by Keir Legree of Savoy Studios from the central staircase, required some additional head scratching. “The wine cellar is a big glass opening, visible from any angle in the house,” says Moody, “so it had to be beautiful in its 270-degree entirety.”

The homeowners, who love Hawaii, wanted a coral reef aquarium that was both functional and decorative. Ponciano used it to divide the great room from the “Party Wing” by framing it in wood paneling with brass inlay that keeps storage and the aquarium’s access panel neatly hidden from view.

“It took a lot of engineering to get all the components necessary to make the fish tank work,” says Moody. “It required adding steel to reinforce the framing, necessary venting, and concrete pads for support.”

Upstairs, the master bedroom boasts a highly unexpected pink cowhide wallcovering. “I have been dying to use this Kyle Bunting wallcovering for some time,” says Ponciano, “and I knew these clients were just the ones to appreciate it.” Brass fringed pendants by Arteriors add glitz.

“Sometimes people will build a house based on the norm of what they should have,” says Moody, “whereas these homeowners wanted a home that reflects their lifestyle and sidesteps all the usual traditional thinking, which is what made it such a creative collaboration – the sheer creativity and uniqueness of it was unlike anything we’ve done before.”

Schnell followed Frank Lloyd Wright’s ideas for large space planning, but brought it into a new realm with updated exterior materials - metal siding, tile, a flat roof and stucco on areas facing the neighbors.

“This is not your average home,” agrees Ponciano, “but this family lives in it, uses it and loves it!” Rooms flow seamlessly one from the other with motorized draperies that wrap a floor-to-ceiling glass wall in the master overlooking the water, leading directly into the master bathroom. A freestanding bath hugs the windows while a large digital steam shower occupies an adjacent wall. “The shower is so huge,” says Ponciano, “that the kids literally use it as a slip and slide!” A unique, highly reflective handmade Ann Sacks tile with a mix of gold, crackle glass and ceramics forms the ABOVE Ann Sacks handmade reflective crackle glass/ceramic tile blacksplash became the inspiration for the master bathroom.

A glamorous makeup vanity completes the bath before stepping into the home’s largest room: the couple’s master closet, which resembles a high-end boutique, replete with secret shoe storage, endless clothes racks and a glass island tower that displays the woman’s handbag collection.

Moody and his partner Chris Wall, the General Contractor on the project, faced challenging construction issues, with structural steel on the outside, center and within the main beams, and wood framing on the interiors and big I-beams. Marrying the two materials and their disparate building requirements demanded a lot of skill. “If we had used wood to frame the windows overlooking the water, the beams would have covered most of the view,” explains Moody,“ and would not have weathered well.”

Ponciano worked hand-in-glove with the homeowners to turn the upstairs Media Loft into a colorful place for children and adults alike.

A blue Roche Bobois leather sofa (the homeowner’s favorite color) pops against a Hive Foster wall paneling system set against a green painted wall. A whimsical Nikki Chu spider-web design rug grounds the space.

Downstairs in the “Party Wing,” on the way to the bowling alley, a stunning red glass bar countertop draws the eye toward the coral reef aquarium.

Before Brunswick installed the lanes in the bowling alley, the homeowner invited graffiti artist Alec Monopoly to create a mural depicting several high points in his life - from business accomplishments to travel to sentimental dates that include the couple’s wedding engagement.

Futuristic bright orange leather Roche Bobois swivel chairs reiterate Monopoly’s bright array of colors. “Monopoly really listened to the homeowner’s vision, then spent four days creating it,” recalls Ponciano.

“The Theater Room is my personal favorite,” confesses Ponciano. “This ‘baby’ is pure luxe.” The vision began with textured, black glitter wallpaper on both the ceiling and walls, turning the room into a cozy, “glittery cave.” Kelly Wearstler sconces pop against custom panels fabricated from the same rift cut wood used throughout the home’s cabinetry. Family movie nights are a treat with a bank of eight television screens supported by an elite Bang & Olufsen sound system. Multiple screens make it possible to view several sports playoffs and tournaments all at once.

The nearby powder room has a lot going on, admits Ponciano. “We basically put all of our favorite things in one room.” A black and white theme dominates, starting with Ann Sacks Kelly Wearstler flooring tile and countered by high contrast black accent walls, black and white marble slab and sink. A brass faucet with geometric knobs resembles gold jewelry as does the piêce de résistance - a linear gold fringed light fixture by Arteriors.

What made this project truly unique admits Moody was the relationship both he and Ponciano had formed with the clients. “The clients are great to work with,” he says, “because they understand the science and art of building, which if you understand the art of it, you can pull off an extraordinary product.”

“It was a big challenge to create such a large, ultra-modern home that would also work aesthetically,” adds Schnell, “but it does!”

“Seeing it all come together after a 3-year-long process is like Christmas,” adds Ponciano, “especially knowing we had a hand in every single detail.”

Shoptalk l Shannon Ponciano

Q: What inspired you to become an interior designer?

SP: I have always loved Interior Design. When I was young and making the regular run to the grocery store with my mom, I would grab one of those free real estate magazines with all the homes for sale in it to take home and study all the different homes and floor plans. As I day dreamed about them, I would draw up my own floor plans and layouts, not knowing then it would become a passion and turn into my career. When I was in my early 20s, I saved enough money to buy my first home. I got to meet with the builder and pick out all the finishes - a process I really enjoyed.

At the time, I didn’t have a lot of extra money so I would go to the Goodwill to find furniture that I could paint or refinish. I was doing a lot of DIY projects to make improvements and add unique style to my first little home. I was constantly moving furniture around to maximize the space and find the right combination where flow and function met. I entertained friends there regularly, and one day someone said, “You should be an interior designer!” That was the validation I needed to give myself the confidence to go back to school and determine if interior design was just a hobby or a career. Once I started my business in 2006, I knew there was no turning back!

Q: What are you working on at the moment?

SP: We are working on a little bit of everything. Design is a very cyclical process, so we are never working on the same things at once. We are working on some remodels with an existing homes that need to be updated, as well as new construction projects which we love because we can be involved from the very beginning stages all the way to the finishing touches. Other projects focus on furniture only, where we help complete a space by building around existing items or all new ones. We are also working on some commercial projects that include a restaurant, bar and outdoor patio renovation. In addition, we offer a luxury home staging side of the business, working with realtors and homeowners to get top dollar for their listed properties.

Q: What are you most inspired by?

SP: I am inspired by everything around me. I think it’s a built-in trait as a creative to constantly be aware and open to inspiration in all forms. Some days it comes in the form of nature and the colors and patterns you might see outdoors. Other days, it might be a song you hear and the mood it creates within. It could be a stranger in a funky outfit and the admiration you feel for that unique style. Or travel to another country or place that makes you appreciate different lifestyles or customs. Sometimes it can simply be found on your sofa while surfing Pinterest and Instagram. Personally, I find the most inspiration while traveling. I love to explore new places and see how other people live and find beauty. When I am traveling, I am able to disconnect and really soak in all the little things and become a part of the experience. This is what truly fuels me and my creativity.

Q: What colors are you loving at the moment?

SP: I am currently loving the mix of saturated moody hues like slate blues, burnt ember and deep emerald greens mixed with light blush and champagne tones.

Q: When decorating, where should people splurge and where should they save?

SP: A good place to splurge would be on classic colors and good quality fabrics on main pieces like drapery, sofa, or wallcoverings. I would also suggest splurging on lighting as it is the jewelry of the home. I would suggest saving on trendy patterns or styles by implementing them on such things as pillows, rugs or… fill in the blank!

Q: Who is your ultimate design icon?

SP: I really appreciate Kelly Wearstler and her design approach. The juxtaposition of modern and vintage, her infusion of color, and combination of graphic patterns, along with an organic texture are all seamless while honoring architectural integrity. Clearly, a lot of thought and intention goes into each of her designs.

Q: What’s one thing that every room needs?

SP: I think every room needs an area rug to anchor the space. Area rugs are a great way to bring in color, pattern and texture to complete a space.

WEST SEATTLE VIBE written by KATIE KERVIN photography by CLEARY O’FARRELL PHOTOGRAPHY

WHITE SPACE DESIGN GROUP’S COLLABORATIVE PROCESS LED TO A DESIGN HONORING THE CHARACTER OF A CRAFTSMAN-STYLE WEST SEATTLE BUNGALOW WITH A COMFORTABLE, YET SOPHISTICATED VIBE THAT CELEBRATES THE CLIENTS’ VISION AND PERSONALITY.

FOLLOWING A MORE THAN TWO-YEAR SEARCH FOR A HOME, which included options that were move-in ready and some they could potentially renovate, James and Justine Lyons settled on a West Seattle bungalow in 2014. “We bought this house knowing it was one we could be in a few years. We did the smart thing and lived in it for awhile to get to know the space, but we knew there were things we wanted to do,” James says.

Several years later, the couple found their way to White Space Design Group, a four-and-a-half-year-old Seattle firm specializing in residential and small retail projects. James’ sister recommended the boutique firm, helmed by principals Alex Childs and Brooke Prince. “We were rookies,” explains James when it came to the renovation, which was already partly underway when he and Justine contacted the firm. When the designers came in, the 2,000-square-foot house was basically stripped down to the studs. “White Space came in and essentially saved the project because we didn’t like the direction it was going.” James says.

On the main floor, what was a series of small rooms “that didn’t make sense,” James says, is now one big living space, with the kitchen (including windows shifted to make better use of space), dining, and living rooms flowing into one another. “Overall at the main level we were trying to establish a design idea that spread throughout the whole house but still gave the different areas some unique personality,” says Prince. Aiming to create something that was at once timeless—a nod to the home’s craftsman bones—but with some pattern and texture to give it a bit of an edge, the designers opted to combine elements such as black accents, gold fixtures, and a herringbone tile on the kitchen backsplash—a twist on the classic white subway option.

Upper cabinets and the fridge surround are done in crisp white, while the lower cabinets feature a mid-to-light gray hue that complements the kitchen’s gold hardware. The main-level flooring, an oak stained to a medium-warm tone, ties the spaces together. A large island, which James describes as the “heart of the home,” dominates the kitchen and was and a must for the couple. Topped with quartz with simple veining for an uncluttered look, “whether we have people over or when it’s just us, everything revolves around the island,” he says.

In the dining room, blended styles continue the relaxed-but-elegant vibe, with a live-edge dining table and benches juxtaposed with chairs covered in navy linen and a black-and-crystal chandelier hanging above.

“We were asked to come up with photos during the visioning process and had just come back from our honeymoon in Santorini, where there was a lot of blue and white,” James explains. “They were able to deliver some of that concept so that memory of a great time in our lives gets to live on in our house.”

That synthesis of elements carries through to the guest bathroom, where black-painted shiplap on the walls is a nice contrast to striking black-andwhite porcelain floor tiles. Meant to mimic encaustic tile, the pattern is arresting and the format a bit bigger than standard. “A lot of encaustic cement tiles are 8-by-8 inches. These were a 12-by-12 so it took that typical scale and blew it up a bit,” Brooke points out.

DINING A live-edge dining table and benches are paired with navy chairs, gold accessories, and a black-and-crystal chandelier, complementing the metallic threads in the room’s West Elm area rug.

CABINETRY A standout in the mostly white kitchen, the mid-tone gray hue from Benjamin Moore on the cabinets is augmented by the gold in the hardware.

COUNTERS + LIGHTING White Space chose Pental Quartz countertops with a subtle, yet warm veining to add interest but keep the kitchen’s clean, uncluttered aesthetic.

The light and airy master bath, which according to James is Justine’s sanctuary, features a striking vintage-style black tub with ornate silver feet. The hex-patterned flooring is cararra marble tile, a larger version of which covers the shower walls. A vanity done in a lighter wood color with black fixtures brings in a natural component. The layout of the bathroom itself took a little finagling, Prince says, because of the tricky ceiling heights in the old home, but eventually designers were able to fit the desired standalone tub, shower, and double vanity.

Ultimately, the design process was a smooth one once the Lyons connected with White Space. “We go through a visioning process with all of our clients that is a set of questions that gives us a deep look into functional and aesthetic needs,” explains Prince. She and Childs asked the Lyons to do this separately, and not share their answers until they came back to the designers. “Most people, and it was true in this case, are more aligned than they might realize,” she says. James adds: “This was our first time doing any of this. They held our hands and then brought concept boards that nailed it. They really delivered from the start.”

The guest bath features an eye catching black-andwhite, large-format porcelain tile from Statements Tile along with a more casual, black-painted shiplap wall and freestanding shower; in the master bath, Justine Lyon’s “sanctuary,” a vintage-style black tub with opulent silver feet sits upon carrara marble flooring done in a small hex pattern, which continues in a larger format in the freestanding shower.

SET AGAINST KING’S HILL HISTORIC DISTRICT, The Envoy Apartment Building has long been a graceful Portland landmark since its 1929 debut. Known for its eye-catching pink exterior and variety of well-known inhabitants, including Fred G. Meyer, the building was designed by architect Carl L. Linde for developer Jack L. Easson and obtained National Register of Historic Places status in 1986. A 2004 facelift turned its apartments into condominiums. A year later its two penthouses were joined into a single 5,026 sq. ft. apartment with 5,558 sq. ft. of terraces.

Fast forward ten years, when Garrison Hullinger of Garrison Hullinger Interior Design (GHID) was contacted by a prospective client living on the East Coast to discuss yet another update of the conjoined penthouses. During a series of long-distance video meetings, various options were discussed, including the possibility of reusing the kitchen cabinetry to demoing a series of arched openings between the living and dining room and replacing them with an exposed load bearing I-beam that would tie to the steel windows.

“The concept seemed more suited to a warehouse conversion in The Pearl than to this historic building,” recalls Jeff Jones, Olson & Jones’ project manager. “And I wasn’t sure how we’d get in or install a 20’ length of steel!” The idea of salvaging pieces from the now outdated kitchen was also later abandoned for an open and airy look throughout.

“The more we explored the idea,” says Hullinger, “the more we realized it would actually impede our ability to create a true chef’s kitchen with all the extras, given that the existing island was 8’ from the cooktop instead of the usual three steps we recommend.”

Hullinger and Nikki Maeda, the lead interior designer on the project, worked hard to suit the kitchen to the family’s lifestyle with two active teens and three big, loveable dogs. By keeping the six burner Wolf cooktop in place and installing refrigeration drawers in the island facing the stove, everything is at hand.

A floor-toceiling Sub-Zero refrigerator/freezer replaces a former hanging cupboard, bringing it closer to the island prep area. All upper cabinets and heavy crown molding were removed for an airier feel. Currey & Company pendants add artisan appeal. Rectangular “Ravissant” wallpaper by William & Wayne adds texture to the demising wall separating the kitchen from the entry foyer – once the waiting room between the two separate penthouses. Cabinet hardware and drawer pulls from Chown Hardware.

After demoing the former kitchen’s cabinets and awkward island that was separated from the cooktop by a hefty butcher block, one of the homeowner recommended creating an open workspace by removing all upper cabinets and providing better island usage. She also recommended the Portola Paint “Soapstone” lime wash with low satin sheen for most of the penthouse walls.

“The homeowner had a very clear understanding of color because of her background as an artist,” says Hullinger. “She really helped fine tune the colors, knowing exactly which shade of Benjamin Moore white she didn’t want because they had studied them during a recent extensive remodel they had undertaken of a very old historical home.”

That experience also gave the couple an understanding of the design process. So, when The Envoy project grew from the idea of working solely with a contractor on a few simple changes to wanting design alterations, they understood that would require more time and cost.

“The family wanted a unique look to the master suite when we first met,” recalls Hullinger, “but with the penthouse sitting on a concrete slab and the plumbing for numerous condos below to consider, we realized that although we couldn’t move the tub where we wanted it, we could create an elegant design solution by adding a step-up to the bath to both accommodate the drainage and give importance to the Victoria & Albert bathtub.”

Olson & Jones had the arduous task of stripping down all the walls to the plaster, because says Jones, “They had a very different look than what the 54

PortraitMagazine.com

homeowners were after. In the master, we gutted all the finishes, but couldn’t relocate the vanity, tub or shower because of condo challenges.”

By modifying the existing powder room and a space allotted for a hall office into a bedroom with a space-saving murphy bed, GHID had room to add a shower in the adjacent powder room. There, Maeda’s simple but elegant design called for large Olympia white subway tile grounded by a black mosaic tile shower bottom, presented with the same step-up technique to accommodate draining issues.

For Olson & Jones, the most demanding element of the penthouse update was getting debris out and materials into the space, with no freight elevator on site.

“We couldn’t use the small vintage elevator,” says Jones, “because we would have tied it up, leaving it unavailable to the building’s other tenants.”

Instead, they employed two Campbell cranes stationed in the upper parking lot to remove three 30-yard dumpsters of debris before uploading any new materials. The oversized marble slab for the

island countertop was delivered by crane to the terrace where four de la tierra, inc. slab installers, using rollers, dollies, and all the rampage necessary, hauled the heavy stone through the vestibule’s double doors, down some stairs and around the demising wall into the kitchen.

“It was a very cool logistics roll-out scenario,” recalls Jones.

A rare coincidence brought GHID and Olson & Jones together on The Envoy project. Just as Hullinger was starting to work with their out-of-state client, his company was also designing a penthouse at the Westerly, where Olson & Jones happened to be working on a project as well.

“We all had cranes going at the same time,” recalls Hullinger, “but Jeff, who had worked at The Envoy previously was explaining to me how to work with its HOA and the elevator system, which is just one more reason I felt confident in recommending them to this client. Not to mention their attention to detail and process which is great. Jeff’s ability to look ahead to all the steps necessary to finish a project also makes him a joy to work with.”

Working with GHID is an equal pleasure for Olson & Jones. “One of the biggest reasons,” says Jones, “is their ability to prepare proper construction documents. Nikki was very thorough and communicative and straight to the point, which we both enjoyed a lot.”

Hullinger has become accustomed to working with remote clients over the years, but this was the first time he had an out-of-state-client come to him in Portland.

Working to modernize the fireplace long-distance was challenging, however, since GHID wanted to keep the 10-year-old firebox but revamp the design. Maeda sketched out a successful solution – a cold rolled steel firebox surround finished using a bluing technique that prevents rust. Everything around it, however, was torn out, reframed and updated.

Perhaps one of Maeda’s trickiest designs for Olson & Jones to execute was attaching the one-inch thick, 110-pound onyx and metal sconces onto the custom designed master bath vanity mirror.

PROJECT SOURCES CONTRACTOR Olson & Jones Construction www.olsonandjones.com ARCHITECT Garrison Hullinger Interior Design www.garrisonhullinger.com

“First we had to cut the glass and then do a build out behind the heavy sconces in order to attach them to the glass without breaking it,” recalls Jones. “From an artistic standpoint, the attachment could not be visible from the light site line.”

“They were just so wonderful to work with,” says Hullinger. “The husband was partial to darker elements that add contrast to the simple, tonal effects throughout that his artist wife had recommended. She provided an inspiration photo for the master vanity and even introduced us to lines we’d never heard of!”

STONE FABRICATOR de la tierra, Inc www.delatierra-stoneworks.com

Jones agrees. “The whole family are just the sweetest, most gracious people.”

Not only were the owners extremely pleased with the outcome, but they were also incredibly pleased with how painless, efficient and effective the design and building process was. In the end, Hullinger and Olson & Jones came in on-time and onbudget - no small accomplishment, considering the constraints of working on an almost 100-year-old building with absentee owners and a limited timeframe.

Shoptalk l Garrison Hullinger

Q: What is something that has inspired you the most this year?

GH: Our clients are so inspiring to me - many of them work with us to update their spaces, and they are not chasing after trends. They are looking for unique and exciting ways to make their home a better place to live. We are challenged to find a way to benefit our clients’ lifestyle and make it beautiful. It’s a lot of fun.

Q: How are you pushing yourself out of your comfort zone?

GH: I continue to work closely with my design team to establish better mechanisms and design theories in creating experiential design elements that really connect with people. Now that we are working with hospitality and multifamily clients, our designs play an important role in telling a story and we have to come up with innovative ways to tell that story to the inhabitants.

Q: What color/pattern/texture/style are you currently obsessed with?

GH: I recently had the opportunity to tour an 1883 hotel that has not been occupied since 1970. The wall coverings throughout the corridors were surprisingly on trend, with a warm undertone of bronze and olive tones in a textural repeating pattern.

Q: Advice I wish I had at the start of my career: GH: Failures lead to success. I have to remind myself and my management team that sometimes a fail point leads us to an opportunity to improve our finished product. As a business owner, I have to trust my staff immensely and at the same time, we’re asking our clients to trust us. If we can be vulnerable and transparent about a mistake it’s easier to get to the solution.

Q: What led you to interior design?

GH: After years of remodeling and decorating homes a life-changing event brought me to interior design. I suffered a traumatic brain injury and during the five years of recovery, an occupational therapist recommended we include remodeling as a therapy component. Upon arriving in Portland, my husband and I worked on updating our home in the Historical Irvington Neighborhood. We gave our home a bold and contemporary look that was not expected in a Craftsman Foursquare. The project was featured in many publications, and neighbors and friends began to hire me to help update their spaces. I used the lessons I learned while developing retail systems and technology when I embarked on my new career: you can accomplish anything with a great idea and a staff that surpasses your talent.

Q: What’s on the boards for you this coming year?

GH: Each year seems to become more exciting for us as we take on more unique residential projects as well as interesting and challenging commercial projects. While the rest of the company has grown, our small residential team has been led by the same few designers for many years. We have developed a process that draws out the defining desires of our clients.

We’ve been working on a modern ranch property that is being designed around the homeowners’ extensive art collection. We’re also thrilled to be designing a new winter ski-resort with a conference center. Our design teams are coming up with concepts and design for the 395 guest rooms, 65 private residences, conference center, and three restaurants and bars.

PortraitMagazine.com

Q: As a designer, what I admire most in a room is:

GH: Creating a room that is comfortable to sit and catch up with a couple of friends in but is also able to comfortably hold twelve people gathered for a party can be a design challenge. When done correctly, you don’t notice the room being out of scale for either group.

Q: I can’t start my day until: GH: I’m lucky to have my day start each morning with my husband making a pot of french press coffee. Once we have our coffee, we sit in our living room and watch the neighborhood come to life while watching the sunrise over Mt Hood.

Q: What’s your signature touch in your home?

GH: Mixing patterns and colors in a room gives me such joy. In my own home, I love to go beyond blending complementary colors and having the colors relate in a triad manner on the color wheel.

Q: Now that your work has expanded to include hospitality and your team has grown accordingly, how has this changed your own perspective on design?

GH: I have worked really hard to recruit talented designers with a great depth of hospitality design acumen. The team I have assembled combines many disciplines and my task is to ensure we are continuing to acquire new and exciting projects for this talented team. We’re fortunate that we’re designing in 3D programs and I’m able to quickly make decisions based on scale and volume of the large spaces we’re designing.

SEA WORTHY written by MARGARETT WATERBURY photography by DAVID PAPAZIAN

SOME THINK BEST IN IN THE SHOWER. FOR LARRY HELMKE, INSPIRATION STRUCK ON A PLANE. ARMED WITH THE SEED OF AN IDEA, LARRY AND HIS WIFE JUDY HELMKE PARTNERED WITH MOUNTAINWOOD HOMES TO CONSTRUCT A DREAM COASTAL RETREAT ON THE OREGON COAST COMPLETE WITH NATURALISTIC FORMS, CAPTIVATING TEXTURES, AND AN INTRICATELY DETAILED INTERIOR.

A mix of materials, colors, and textures gives this kitchen a dynamic feel and echoes the rich natural world of the Oregon Coast. Quartz countertops are used in two different thicknesses and colors. The large-format porcelain floor tiles have a warm, stone-like finish. Custom walnut cabinetry is grain-matched for extra interest. Behind the kitchen, a floor-to-ceiling stone wall peeks out from above a half-wall dividing the main kitchen from a butler’s pantry.

The focal point of the living room is a custom-built half-height metal wall that houses the fireplace and television. To complement the cylindrical shape of the adjacent two-story turret, the wall is also curved, but in the opposite direction. Instead of mounting the television over the fireplace, the side-by-side placement created better ergonomics for viewing.

WHEN MOST PEOPLE TALK ABOUT A BACK-OF-THE-NAPKIN SKETCH, they’re using a figure of speech, not speaking literally. Not so in the case of this custom home in Pacific City.

“I was working and traveling a lot,” says homeowner Larry Helmke. “And while I was on an airplane, I had an idea. So I took a cocktail napkin and sketched out a floor plan.” Then Larry tucked that napkin into his briefcase and took it to Robert and Heather Wood, the husband and wife team behind Mountainwood Homes, a custom home and remodeling firm based in Beaverton, Oregon. The Helmkes had already worked with Mountainwood Homes on several previous projects, building a strong relationship with a rock-solid foundation of trust and mutual understanding, and Larry knew Robert and Heather would be the ones to turn his notion into reality.

Together, the Helmkes and Mountainwood Homes designed a building that would maximize the incredible ocean views from a lot Larry had purchased years before at the Oregon Coast. The parcel sat on a hilltop above the beach, facing the Pacific but out of the path of the most extreme ocean elements.

Larry’s core concept was a roughly L-shaped home anchored by a two-story turret sitting like a lynchpin at the center, the entire building sited to maximize the panoramas from every window.

Because the property is part of a subdivision, the exterior of the home needed to meet some fairly strict standards to align with the community’s coastal, Nantucket style. Inside, however, the Helmkes were able to explore contemporary design themes to their hearts’ content, fusing materials and surfaces inspired by the natural world with cantilevered forms, geometric shapes, and dynamic spaces.

“The Helmkes are avid cooks, so we really put a lot of thought into the kitchen,” says Heather. The custom flush-front cabinets were built from natural walnut, the grain-matching adding dramatic expression. Three different countertop materials make an appearance, including a dark quartz embedded with recycled glass pieces, walnut butcher block, and a soothing dove gray quartz on the perimeter. “When we’re mixing several different patterns and textures, sometimes we need to have a quiet area,” explains Heather. “That’s where that gray countertop comes into play. It gives your eye a rest.”

The kitchen’s high ceilings enable the addition of clerestory windows, which flood the space with natural light. However, vaulted ceilings like these can pose challenges for mounting essential components like a range hood or lighting. To solve the problem, Robert and Heather designed a floating drop ceiling constructed of walnut beams to hide the hood and lights.

“The challenge in the kitchen was to incorporate a hood over the island cooktop that didn’t block the view in the kitchen,” says Robert. “The vaulted ceilings needed to be dropped down to hide the vent but still draw air. We designed the suspended kitchen ceiling with integrated hood and lighting to provide spatial warmth and comfort while allowing natural light to filter from tall, clerestory windows.”

Additional lighting is housed inside a wall-mounted walnut band that runs around the perimeter of the kitchen and elsewhere in the house. “We use that band throughout the home to get accent lighting into spaces, and to bring the ceiling down to feel more intimate,” says Robert.

“Anytime you’re building on the coast, you have to take weather into account,” says Robert. “We needed to use products approved by the neighborhood association and that were also durable in that ocean-exposed environment.” Western white shake shingles fit the bill for the exterior of the home, offering an understated, beachy look and good coastal weather performance. Low-maintenance plantings were chosen for their ability to thrive in coastal conditions.

The concept of floating reoccurs throughout the rest of the home, including the kitchen and bathroom cabinetry. “We lit the cabinets from underneath with LED accent lighting to underscore that levitating look,” says Heather. In the guest bathroom and master bathroom, the area underneath the floating vanities features river stone for a naturalistic look that echoes the landscape outside.

In the living room, the central focal point is a custom-built half-height metal wall that houses the fireplace and television. It’s placed adjacent to the exterior of the turret, which has an exposed stone wall visible from inside the living room. In a nod to that cylindrical shape, the metal wall is also curved, but in the opposite direction.

“That was a tough area to design,” says Heather. “The fireplace is set into that wall, so all of our measurements and depths had to be adjusted to mount a flat item in a curved surface.” The brushed metal surface has a smooth, satiny glow, providing a satisfying textural counterpoint to the stone wall behind.

Off the living room, an expansive wrap-around concrete deck invites visitors to step into the Pacific coast’s remarkable landscape. Cantilevered construction eliminated the need for columns, preserving the panoramic view. Stainless steel wire railings are similarly low-profile. Larry and Judy say experiencing the sights and sounds of the ocean from the deck is one of their favorite parts of the home. “I’d walk in on a Friday afternoon and look out at the waves, listen to the ocean, and think “damn, it’s nice here,” says Larry. “It has just been an incredibly fun place to be. Having Mountainwood take a vision and make it a reality was amazing.” In fact, the Helmkes are so thrilled with the outcome that they recently hired Mountainwood to build yet another custom home for them in Portland, Oregon.

A super-steep, relatively small site brought challenges, but also opportunity. Instead of building out, this home went up to fit just over 3,000 square feet on a city lot.

Terraced walkways, patios, and staircases knit the home into the landscape, and the offset cantilevered form creates plenty of opportunities for rooftop outdoor space.

SKY BOX written by MARGARETT WATERBURY photography by WILL AUSTIN

STEEP SITE? NO SWEAT. LANE WILLIAMS ARCHITECTS AND SHAPIRO RYAN DESIGN TRANSFORMED A DIFFICULT PARCEL IN SEATTLE’S MADISON VALLEY INTO A FRESH, STYLISH HIDEAWAY. THIS CUSTOM-BUILT MODERN HOME USES CANTILEVERED FORMS, CREATIVE OUTDOOR SPACE, AND CLEVER SHIFTS IN PERSPECTIVE TO TAKE MAXIMUM ADVANTAGE OF EVERY VERTIGINOUS INCH.

WALKERS, BICYCLISTS, AND ARCHITECTS ALL KNOW: SEATTLE HILLS ARE NO JOKE. Just like you need strong quads to pedal your way up Madison, you need somebody with the technical chops to make steep-site construction not just work, but shine.

These homeowners had dreams of a custom contemporary home with plenty of space for entertaining, work, and relaxation, but were faced with a rugged site in Madison Valley that made structural planning a challenge. To tackle the complex build, they brought in Lane Williams Architects, a firm that specializes in custom single-family homes in the Seattle area.

“Like a lot of Seattle properties, this particular project is on a very steep slope,” says Lane Williams, Principal Architect. “So it had some extra challenges in that regard.” That didn’t stop Williams and his team from creating a home that maximized the small, steep site, creating an aerie-like retreat that feels light and spacious—and still has room in the garage for the homeowners’ vintage Cadillac.

From the exterior, the home has a classic contemporary look. “These homeowners specifically asked for cantilevered forms,” says Williams. “That was something they’d seen in my previous work and they were definitely drawn to.” Williams created a concept built around the idea of offset stacking boxes, with each box’s exterior made in a different material to distinguish the layers.

The bottom box, housing the garage, is clad in concrete and stucco. The middle floor is wrapped in Western Red Cedar, while the top box is sided in fiber cement laid out in a custom pattern. “Fiber cement is inexpensive and very durable, but not always used well in new construction,” says Williams.

“This house is a good example of how that material can be fresh and interesting.”

It also created a unique opportunity for repetition and rhythm. The same geometric motif used on the siding of the house also appears in other areas, including pressed into the board form concrete and in the kitchen shelving. “It’s a small thing, but once you notice it, it shows up everywhere in the home,” says homeowner Justin Voskuhl. “That’s nice because it reminds you that somebody thought really hard about how this all fits together.”

Inside, the kitchen is built for entertaining. An extra-large island invites guests to gather around, and practical materials like laminate-faced cabinets and soapstone countertops are durable and easy to clean. “We incorporate open shelving in a lot of our kitchen projects,” explains Williams, “just because it’s a convenient place for the things you want to grab every day without having to search for a cupboard.” While the layout is classically open, Lane says the drop ceiling above the island provides a subtle sense of space division, separating the dining area from the working kitchen.

In the living room, the same Western red cedar used on the exterior of the home, with the same stain, adds a sense of warmth to the space. Above the fireplace, the television is surrounded by custom zebrawood cabinetry that conceals the other elements of the entertainment system. When not in use, the television turns into a mirror. The glass Bocci lighting fixture above the fireplace echoes others found throughout the home, and were brought in from the homeowners’ previous residence.

The staircase that connects all three levels of the home floats next to a textured board form concrete wall that extends through each story. “The clients’ original request was for a stone wall, but I suggested the board form concrete instead,” says Williams. “It’s a lot of work, but it’s still less expensive than stone. It also fits with the fact we were already using concrete as a major material on the house.” Like the flooring, the stair treads are stained white oak, and the steelwork has a blackened finish.

Justin Voskuhl says the name of the home, Skybox, refers to the master bedroom on the upper story. “It’s really just a box of glass, facing east,” says Voskuhl. “When the sun comes up in the morning, it acts as your alarm clock.” Many of the more intimate areas, such as the Carrera marble-lined master shower, have skylights, allowing natural light in without sacrificing privacy. The master bathroom features a precast concrete sink and countertop unit atop a floating laminate-faced cabinet. Mirrors conceal hidden medicine cabinets for storage.

The exterior spaces of the home are as thoughtfully designed as the interior. To help with the landscape, the team brought in Martha Shapiro and Clare Ryan of Shapiro Ryan Design, a landscape design firm serving the greater Seattle metro area. “These homeowners wanted a lot out of the property, which is great—we love that,” says Shapiro. “But it was also an incredibly difficult site. It was quite steep, with horrible soils. On one side there’s a hole, and on the other, it’s like a cliff.”

This kitchen was built for entertaining, with an open layout and plenty of space for cooking, hosting, and socializing. Dark soapstone counters contrast with white laminate cabinets and walnut accents, with oak flooring and a stained Western red cedar ceiling to match the exterior of the home. The oven, microwave, refrigerator, and dishwasher are from Miele, while the cooktop is from Monogram.

The challenge for Shapiro and Ryan, then, was to transform that unappealing terrain into a useful, attractive landscape that knit the home into the site. After discussing a variety of use cases with the homeowners, the two developed a series of discrete outdoor spaces designed for different purposes, including a private firepit patio, raised-bed vegetable gardens, elevated walkways, and entrances. Managing the steep topography with retaining walls and fast-growing plantings to hold the ground, reduce erosion, and comply with city requirements was also a priority. “If we hadn’t had such a great team, it could have been a disaster,” laughs Shapiro. “But we collaborated with Orion Rockscapes, and they were just wonderful to work with.”

Shapiro and Ryan used repetition and mass plantings to create a sense of cohesion and align with the contemporary aesthetic of the architecture. “With modern architecture, there’s not a lot of fudge room,” says Ryan. “Everything has to be right.” Taking advantage of the home’s tall shape and varied view perspectives, the two designed many of their areas to be viewed from not just inside the landscape, but also

above it. “From the house, you’re always looking down,” says Ryan. “So the idea was to get a pattern on the ground to view from above.”

All that attention to the flow and arrangement of the outdoor areas paid off. “We threw a party last summer with more than 200 people, and it was amazing,” says Voskuhl. “When we started to see the RSVPs climbing into that territory, we were nervous, but it worked fine. The indoor space flows into the outdoor space, and there’s also a whole roof deck on top, so people naturally find clusters.”

“The joy in every project is the initial creation, when I’m doing the drawings,” says Williams. “I draw with pencil and paper at the beginning of the project. It’s still my favorite creative method. And then the other joy is at the end, when you see people living in the house you’ve designed and hear them talk about how much they enjoy the house.”

“It’s amazing. I sit in the house and it looks just like the 3D models they put together for us,” says Voskuhl. “We’ve lived here for 18 months. Even now, it’s almost like I’m pinching myself that I get to live here.”

RISING STAR

NORTHWEST SYRAH written by MARGARETT WATERBURY

A BIG DEAL From the Applegate Valley in southern Oregon to eastern Washington’s Walla Walla Valley, Syrah has long been a beloved variety for growers seeking a full-bodied red grape that’s responsive to site conditions and thrives in a range of climates.

The Northwest’s cool climate, like that of Cristom Vineyards in Oregon’s Willamette Valley, creates a versatile and complex Syrah with spicy and floral notes. Cristom grows its Syrah on the lower slopes of the Estate Vineyards where daytime heat accumulation is high and nights are cold, allowing the Syrah to both ripen and retain its acidity.

THE EOLA-AMITY HILLS ARE INARGUABLY PINOT COUNTRY. YET SPEND A LITTLE TIME WITH CRISTOM VINEYARDS WINEMAKER TOM GERRIE, AND YOU’LL QUICKLY LEARN THAT PINOT ISN’T THE ONLY RED GRAPE IN TOWN.

“Look, I bleed Pinot Noir,” laughs Tom. “But my second favorite? It’s Syrah.”

Tom Gerrie is part of a growing cohort of Northwest winemakers enamored with this Rhône variety. From the Applegate Valley in southern Oregon to eastern Washington’s Walla Walla Valley, Syrah has long been a beloved variety for growers seeking a full-bodied red grape that’s responsive to site conditions and thrives in a range of climates. Plantings in both states continue to increase, and Northwest Syrahs are garnering national attention.

Yet even as Northwest Syrah’s prominence has grown, it has remained an underdog. If Cabernet Sauvignon is the king of red grapes and Pinot Noir the queen, Syrah might be the youngest prince—rich, unpredictable, seductive, and maybe even a little bit raunchy. He’s sometimes overlooked, but shouldn’t be underestimated. Here’s what to know about this deliciously dark side of Oregon and Washington wine.

SYRAH’S GLOBAL CONTEXT

Although the variety is now grown all over the world, France’s Rhône valley is Syrah’s most famous home. Yet even there, the grape is something of a chameleon. In northern Rhône regions like Côte-Rôtie and Hermitage it’s used to produce intense, powerful wines with a savory quality that often verges on gaminess. In other regions, it produces a lushly fruity table wine, and is often blended with other grapes like Grenache and Mourvédre to add weight to a final blend.

Outside of France, the new world has enthusiastically embraced Syrah (or Shiraz, as it’s known in Australia). In California, Chile, Argentina, Australia, and South Africa, Syrah often produces big, robust, inky wines with flavors of blackberry, spice, chocolate, and even coffee. Here in the Northwest, a varied topography and a creative winemaking spirit gives Syrah full rein to explore every facet of its character, from textured fruit and spice to savory, smoky wines that mirror the finest expressions of the northern Rhône.

SOUTHERN OREGON

Versatile Southern Oregon is home to several Syrah producers of note, including Cowhorn Vineyard www.cowhornwine.com Plaisance Ranch www.plaisanceranch.com Troon www.troonvineyard.com Reustle Prayer Rock Vineyards www.reustlevineyards.com and Quady North www.quadynorth.com which was founded specifically to focus on Rhone varieties.

parcel that had once been a motocross track. In 2006, they planted their first section to Syrah, Cabernet Franc, and Viogner, naming it Mae’s Vineyard after their daughter.

“Like Pinot Noir, Syrah is really good at showing a sense of place,” says Herb. “But unlike Pinot Noir, it can grow in a wide range of climates. In climates like ours, which are on the cooler edge for Syrah, it develops these neat savory characteristics that make it conversational and can pair very well with food.”

Four hours north in Portland, Oregon, Kate Norris at Southeast Wine Collective www.sewinecollective.com is celebrating the 2019 release of her 2016 Gamine Syrah, made with fruit grown by Herb at that original vineyard he planted in 2006. “I’ve always been obsessed with Syrah,” says Kate.

So in 2013, her business partner Tom bought her a ton of Syrah from Mae’s Vineyard as a surprise. The resulting wine was savory, mineral-driven, and distinctly old-world, right in line with Kate’s sensibilities. She’s bought fruit from Herb every vintage since. “This 2016 vintage is the best I’ve ever made,” says Kate. “It has so many layers, and an interesting delicate nature.

I’m really happy with it.”

WALLA WALLA

In the Walla Walla Valley and elsewhere in Washington, Syrah is a big deal.

In 2018, it was the third most important red grape in Washington’s vintage, with 24,300 tons harvested. For context, Oregon’s 2017 Syrah harvest was just shy of 3,000 tons.

Syrah loves the hot summer temperatures throughout Washington, but it’s The Rocks District AVA where it makes its most remarkable wines. Just south of Walla Walla, this tiny 3,767 acre sub-AVA only achieved official recognition in 2015, but it’s quickly emerged as one of the most promising regions for Syrah not just in the Northwest, but the world. Straddling the Oregon and Washington border, The Rocks District is distinguished by a deep bed of extremely rocky, gravelly soil created by millennia of erosion by the Walla Walla river as it changed course across southeastern Washington and northeastern Oregon.

As a young winemaker, founder Herb Quady despaired at ever being able to afford the multi-million-dollar investment required to start his own winery in California. But when he arrived in Southern Oregon in 2003 and started working at Troon in the Applegate Valley, he saw an opportunity.

Here, Syrah takes on an unmistakably savory, saline, almost meaty quality that reminds many of the finest expressions of Syrah from Hermitage in the northern Rhône. “Sometimes when I walk by a fermenter of Rocks District Syrah, it smells just like a delicatessen,” says Rich Funk, owner and winemaker at Saviah Cellars www.saviahcellars.com in Walla Walla, Washington.

“Smoked sea salt, cured and smoked meats, tapenade, it’s all there.”

“I really like Rhône varieties, and I thought the Applegate could be a great place to get in, if not on the ground floor, near the ground floor,” says Herb. He and his wife bought their property in 2005, a hundred-acre

Those qualities are most evident in Saviah Cellars’ The Stone Speak Syrah, a single vineyard bottling from the Funk Estate vineyard in the Rocks District. In the tasting room, it stops people in their tracks. “You can

“These wines are singular,” says Rich. “I’ve worked with 30 blocks of Syrah from around the state, and we can’t get these textures, aromas, and flavors anywhere else. Really, there’s only so many places in the world you can grow this style of Syrah and have it consistently, year in and year out, be exceptional in quality.”

THE WILLAMETTE VALLEY

Syrah is usually associated with warmer regions than the Willamette Valley, but Cristom Vineyards www.cristomvineyards.com in the Eola-Amity AVA is enthusiastically exploring the outer reaches of Syrah’s cold tolerance.

“We are among the pioneering wineries in the Willamette Valley for Syrah,” says Gerrie. After having success with Viogner, Cristom grafted a portion of its Chardonnay to Syrah in 2001, and made their first vintage in 2003.

Gerrie says ripening Syrah in a climate as cool as the Willamette Valley can be tricky, but careful clone selection (and a series of exceptionally warm vintages) have helped overcome the challenge.

“We love growing Syrah in a Pinot Noir climate, because you get a lot of the spice without jamminess or any kind of over-ripeness,” explains Gerrie.

“I think there is a real demand for cool climate Syrahs. They can be really interesting, complex wines with very floral qualities and a balance between fruit and spice.”

Cristom underscores that floral quality by co-fermenting approximately 4% Viogner with some of their Syrah bottlings, a traditional strategy inspired by France that brings out lifted floral aromas and helps the wine retain a beautiful, brilliant color. “It’s almost an homage to the old CôteRôtie styles,” says Gerrie. “It adds this floral white honeysuckle component in addition to the classic spiciness of the syrah.”

AT THE TABLE

Syrah’s big fruit and herb flavors pair beautifully with meat, and its full body can stand up to flavorful marinades and sauces. Lamb is a home-run pairing, especially when grilled, but beef, pork, or even duck can also be excellent companions to a glass of Syrah. Particularly savory specimens of Syrah are great fun to pair with charcuterie like pate, salumi, or bresaola, which echo its meaty, salty character.

“I like Syrah as a food pairing wine because it is so bold, and I like to use a lot of bold flavors,” says Althea Grey Potter, chef at Oui! Wine Bar and Restaurant at Southeast Wine Collective www.sewinecollective.com .

“It pairs really well with dishes that have a lot of spices, or even some heat.

I might do a harissa-spiced lamb with Syrah, and I like that neither the wine nor the dish will eclipse the other.”

Northwest wine lovers won’t be turning their back on Pinot Noir or Cabernet Sauvignon anytime soon. But if winemakers like these have anything to say about it, we’ll soon be making room for local Syrah in the cellar. “The Northwest can also develop into a globally recognized region for Syrah,” says Gerrie. “That might sound ridiculous to Pinot Noir lovers, but I really believe that. There’s just so much opportunity for it here.”

Wagyu Steak with Mushroom Tart

recipe by Executive Chef Chris Smith, Jory Restaurant, The Allison Inn & Spa

MUSHROOM TART 1 sheet puff pastry dough 3 cups mushrooms, preferably a wild mix, chopped 1 shallot, minced 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 tsp fresh thyme, minced ½ tsp fresh sage, minced

Executive Chef Chris Smith, Jory Restaurant, The Allison Inn & Spa

Method Heat oil in a sauté pan over medium high heat. Add mushrooms and sauté until they begin to brown, if pan becomes dry add a little more oil to prevent mushrooms from burning. When mushrooms begin to brown add the shallots, garlic and herbs, sauté until aromatic and deglaze with cream sherry. Add Butter, and reduce sherry until almost dry. Season with salt and sherry vinegar to taste. Remove from heat and cool.

Beet Steak

While mushrooms are cooling, preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Remove your puff pastry from the refrigerator and form shells. These can be any shape you desire, but the easiest method is to cut the dough in rectangles or squares and run a knife about 3/8 of an inch in from the edge to form two” L” shapes that don’t quite connect at two corners. Invert the thin strips so that you form a smaller rectangle with raised sides and “knots at 2 corners where the dough overlaps. This will minimize the amount of wasted dough that you have.

INGREDIENTS 3 large beets, washed 2 cups orange juice 2 cups white wine 1 shallot, sliced 4 cloves garlic 1 bunch thyme 1 Tbsp black peppercorns 1 tsp salt Water to cover

Place shell forms on a parchment paper lined baking sheet and brush with beaten egg. Bake for about 15 minutes at 350 degrees. Remove and let cool.

Fill with cooked and cooled mushrooms and bake until warm when ready to eat.

recipe by Executive Chef Chris Smith Jory Restaurant, The Allison Inn & Spa

Method In a deep baking dish combine all ingredients, cover with parchment paper and aluminum foil and bake in oven for about 2 hours at 375 degrees, or until the tip of a knife can be inserted easily.

Remove beets from cooking liquid, strain and reserve. Partially cool beets, when easy to handle remove the skin by rubbing it off with a towel. Finish cooling the beets. Slice beets crosswise into 1.5 inch planks. (You should yield about 2 planks per beet) BEET-PEPPERCORN SAUCE Reserved beet braising liquid – reduced to 1.5 cups 2 cups Syrah 1 Tbsp green pepper corns 1 Tbsp Butter (optional) In a small pot combine Syrah and peppercorns, reduce to about ¼ cup, add reduced braising liquid and further reduce by half. Finish by whisking in butter if desired. Season with salt to taste and black pepper to taste.

Serving suggestions: Serve beet steaks with mashed or roasted potatoes and your favorite vegetables!

102

¼ cup cream sherry 1 Tbsp butter Salt to taste Sherry vinegar to taste 1 egg, beaten Cooking oil

PortraitMagazine.com

BEEF BUTTER 3 Tbsp rendered beef fat (should be able to source from an artisan butcher) 3 Tbsp butter Sea salt 1 tsp minced garlic Method Combine everything and beat together.

SYRAH-HUCKLEBERRY JUS 2 cups Syrah 4 cups beef bone broth or stock 2 Tbsp huckleberries 2 tsp butter Salt and pepper to taste Method Reduce Syrah to ½ cup.

Add beef broth and further reduce to ½ cup, add huckleberries.

Season to taste. And finish by whisking in butter.

STEAK WITH MUSHROOM TART Season your steaks with salt and black pepper.

We recommend a fattier steak such as ribeye or a Wagyu style striploin to pair with Syrah as the fattiness will help mellow out the tannins and create a more harmonious flavor pairing.

On a hot wood or charcoal grill or well-seasoned cast iron pan, sear the steaks and cook to desired doneness.

Remove from heat and coat with beef butter.

Allow to rest for 5-7 minutes before slicing.

While steaks are resting, finish cooking your mushroom tarts In a preheated oven at 375 degrees.

Slice steaks and plate with tarts. Finish by drizzling the Syrah jus over the steaks.

CLOCKWISE from top left: Enoteca Nostrana’s seasonal menu is inspired by classic Italian recipes from owner Cathy Whim’s notebooks and clippings.

Executive Chef Patrick McKee (center) heads the Estes chef concept at Dame Collective. Chef Althea Grey Potter of Oui! Wine Bar and Restaurant combines her love of garden-fresh ingredients with international flavors for an explosive menu. Dame serves seasonal Northwest food alongside a wine list that acts as a tour of natural wines from around the world. Boasting wild French bar food, the menu at Canard is conducive to either snacking or dining, but with an emphasis on wine. CENTER Award-winning chef/owner Gabe Rucker says Canard takes foods that have become passé and transforms them in creative ways.

PortraitMagazine.com

Portland’s most revered chefs are not only hard at work creating memorable dining experiences in their well-established and frequently-visited restaurants, they’re busy creating new, more casual spaces to showcase their food alongside great wines. These new wine bars-cum-restaurants are offering guests approachable menus with extensive selections of interesting and obscure wines while serving as a kitchen playground for the chef.

ARDEN

DAME

Thelonious Wines first opened as a bottle shop, then began serving wine by the glass, and eventually served small bites. But as their business grew, and customers expressed interest in more food options, owners Kelsey Glasser and Alex Marchesini looked at expansion. The Arden space, barely a block away, had been sitting empty, and when the couple fortuitously connected with Michelin-starred chef Sara Hauman, they knew they had the makings of a real restaurant. Glasser jokes that she and Marchesini quickly realized they just might kill each other if they were running two business together, so they split them up; Marchesini kept Thelonious and Glasser kept Arden.

The Dame Collective serves seasonal Northwest food alongside a wine list that acts more like a tour of natural wines from around the world. The Collective’s unique restaurant model highlights chefs-in-residence and burgeoning restaurant concepts (like Estes and Pasture) paired with Dame’s au natural wine program.

Glasser says Arden is moving away from the “wine bar” label to avoid the connotation of cheese, charcuterie and wine flights. “We are really a winefocused restaurant.” She thinks the recent explosion of wine bars dedicated to great food is fantastic, though. “Any chef worth their salt has a good palate and enjoys good wine. So, it makes sense that chefs would want to create dishes that are enhanced by great wine and vice versa.”

Enjoy Arden’s prix fixe menu with wine pairings or order a la carte for a more casual night out. The wine program is largely a curated collection of cellared bottles which also means the list is always changing, as cellared bottles are not available in large quantity. The intimate space demands fresh ingredients are ordered daily. And because sourcing from small, local farms, means they don’t often get the same ingredients twice, Arden’s menu reflects the seasonal availability. Glasser says that’s exactly what their patron’s love. “Even if they come in once a week, there are always new dishes and new wines to try.”

Arden is open Sun-Thurs 5 to 9pm, Fri-Sat 5 to 10pm. 417 NW 10th Ave, Portland, OR 97209, 503.206.6097, www.ardenpdx.com

CANARD Two-time James Beard winning chef Gabe Rucker (of Le Pigeon and Little Bird) and wine director Andy Fortgang created a place that serves playful food in an all-day café, alongside a serious wine program. Boasting wild French bar food, the menu at Canard is conducive to either snacking or dining. But the script is flipped, where the food is paired with the wines.

Rucker says, “Our menu changes constantly, but we like taking things that have become passé (i.e. wonton chips or Ritz crackers) and working them into a menu in new, creative, and fun ways.” Canard showcases Rucker’s playful, no-rules-style in the form of dishes like Steam Burgers, Ducketta, and Foie Gras Dumplings. “The sky’s the limit here. Our goal is to make anything possible, for anyone, at any time of day. Andy and I want Canard to be a place people want to hang out, and not take anything too seriously,” says Rucker.

Fortgang’s hope is that people come in for a glass and a snack and leave hours later after dinner and several bottles. With 20 wines by the glass and over 250 bottles (ranging from inexpensive to unique and collectable), the only rule with Canard’s wine list is that it must taste good. Fortang says, “The wine list is meant to spark conversation. Some of the wines on this list are about innovation, and some are about tradition. We hope our guests will feel encouraged to ask questions, explore, and enjoy.”

Canard is open Mon-Fri 8pm to midnight, Sat-Sun 9am to midnight.

Pasture’s menu changes with the whims of the seasons and weather that dictates the harvest available from local farmers. The concept started when chef/butcher/owners Kei Ohdera and John Schaible (formerly Farm Spirit and Blue Hill) considered what was lacking from the thriving Portland food scene. Ohdera says, “Most chefs in Portland strive to source locally, as we do, because it means better flavor and geographical relevancy. Our goal is not to offer just the best of the land, but to also support the community we are in.”

Estes Executive Chef Patrick McKee’s (formerly Perlot and Paley’s Place) menu is inspired by the dishes his mom made while he was growing up, like her Spaghetti & Meatballs, or Braised Oxtails with Potato Gnocchi. McKee says that what makes Estes unique is that he cooks food based on landmark times in his life, “Whether it’s the influence of family and food from my mom, my decade with Vitaly Paley, being on Iron Chef America, or my stage at Arzak Restaurant in San Sebastian, Spain, we cook from the heart and want to bring people together over well-thought out and heartfelt food.”

Dame is open Wed-Sat 5:30 to 10pm, Sun-Tues 5:30 to 9pm, check the menu for what chefs are in residence. 2930 NE Killingsworth Street, Portland, OR 97217, 503.227.2269, www.damerestaurant.com

ENOTECA NOSTRANA After more than a decade serving Italian classics and regional wines in the rustic Tuscan farmhouse (i.e. the Nostrana dining room), chef Cathy Whims (six times James Beard award nominee) and her husband David West opened the adjacent Enoteca Nostrana to add a modern Italian venue with great ambiance and a strong wine emphasis.

Enoteca is definitely a wine place. In addition to a no-reservations, casual service style, they encourage a convivial atmosphere for guests to taste myriad of global bottles. Whims says, “How can we get exciting juice into our customers’ glasses and expose them to something they previously wouldn’t have had the opportunity to try?” Though Enoteca takes wine seriously, the atmosphere strives to be light, enjoyable, and accessible, encouraging a growing enthusiasm among all wine drinkers. “We provide a platform where the wine community can engage in a fun and lively setting,” says wine director Austin Bridges. “It’s a place where we would like to drink.”

The heart of Enoteca Nostrana is the two-story, glass-encased wine cellar which stores up to 3,000 bottles. With a wide European focus, representing Italy, France, Germany, Spain, and America, the selections have an underlying emphasis on natural winemaking and experimentation. And of the fresh, colorful, and whimsical design, Whims says, “The vibe is just as funky and fresh as the wines we pour.”

Enoteca is more than just a wine bar. It also serves delicious, creative, and inspired dishes. The menu,mainly share-plates, is tied to the seasons and inspired by classic Italian recipes both from Whim’s notebooks and clippings, as well as her own creativity.

OK OMENS Chef Justin Woodward wanted to open a bar that could juxtapose with his restaurant Castagna. It would be something casual and bustling, a relaxed place to stop by for a drink and a bite to eat; where he could just pop into for good food and drinks without having to make a reservation. And OK Omens was born.

The entire concept is based on doing things in a new, thoughtful, and intriguing manner. Known for using unusual ingredients such as green Szechuan peppercorns, turnip green XO sauce, koji aioli, sansho, smoked beef fat remoulade, steak with Roquefort, nuoc cham, foie gras, Urfa biber, and black garlic hoisin, Woodward’s food grabs your attention. He remarks, “There are too many options in Portland to do something boring, besides, that just isn’t who I am. Being true to myself means pushing the envelope, in every aspect of the dining experience. Why go out to dinner to be bored? The food and wine are interesting, that is the concept. We don’t serve baked brie with apples and if we pour Chardonnay, I give Brent hell about it.”

OK Omens is also known for having one of the most dynamic wine lists in Portland (not to mention wine shots). Typically, they don’t overlap the wines served at Castagna, but they also try not to set too many rules for themselves and Brent Braun (wine director of Castagna and OK Omens and winner of Food and Wine Magazine’s Sommelier of the Year) is notorious for writing tasting notes on his menu that make the wines almost as much fun to read about as they are to sip.

OK Omens is open daily 5pm to midnight. Next door to Castagna at 1758 SE Hawthorne Boulevard, Portland, OR 97214, 503.231.9939, www.okomens.com

Pea Salad with Crispy Prosciutto & Oregon Hazelnuts recipe by Executive Chef Althea Grey Potter, Oui!

DRESSING 3 Tbsp fresh lemon juice 1 Tbsp Dijon mustard 1 tsp maple syrup ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil

SALAD 12 thin slices prosciutto 8 ounces fresh goat cheese, roughly crumbled 2 cups shelled fresh English peas (from about 2 pounds of pea pods) 16 ounces sugar snap peas (about 4 cups), stems removed 1 cup hazelnuts, toasted and roughly chopped ¼ cup tarragon, roughly chopped ¼ cup mint leaves, picked 4 scallions, finely sliced (green and white parts) Salt and freshly cracked pepper

OUI! WINE BAR + RESTAURANT Just say “Yes!” to Oui! Wine Bar and Restaurant at the Southeast Wine Collective where Chef Althea Grey Potter is using a variety of textures and surprising ingredients to catch the attention of her guests in this bustling Southeast Portland location. Like fuel to the fire, being able to pair Chef Potter’s inspired menu with wine flights from a dozen small producers from the Southeast Wine Collective’s urban location, makes for an explosion of taste.

Named locally as the best New Restaurant of 2018, Chef Potter is no longer flying under the radar after the restaurant’s soft opening, but has instead become well known for taking a bold approach to food, combining her love of garden-fresh ingredients with droves of international flavors to build a creative , colorful, and flavorful menu that changes as much with the season, as it does with her whim.

Of this, Chef Potter says, “The menu at Oui! is inspired primarily by the changing of the seasons and the beautiful vegetables and fruit that arrives with them. We have a few dishes that stay on the menu year-round, but we change most of it in celebration of produce at the height of its deliciousness (not unlike wine!).” Rooted in French technique but playful with global flavors, guests can enjoy small ala carte share plates to larger, more satisfying meals, or choose the chef’s five-course, family-style tasting menu with wine pairings (one of the most affordably priced in town), and let Potter work her magic.

And because all great meals are better with wine, Oui! offers five different flights of wine to choose from. Enjoy a selection of Division wines from founders Tom Monroe and Kate Norris, a sampling of wines from the members of the Collective, a variety of Pinot Noir from regional micro-producers, Rosés from local and international producers, or have some fun with a surprise flight, chosen by the uber-capable bar staff. Norris says, “Our Collective wines are half the menu, and the other half is wines that inspire us to do what we do, and that push us to keep on discovering. We have wines of the old world, both classic and avant guard, and wines from North America that we feature in our Guest Winemaker program, which kicks off every month with a free tasting at the winery.

Potter is delighted about the influx of wine bars with exciting food programs. She says, “Gone are the days where the only food option at a wine bar or winery was a second thought, often relegated to a cheese board. Wine can be enjoyed with so many different foods and cuisine and I’m glad Portland is embracing that.”

Oui! is open Wed-Thurs 4pm - 10pm, Fri 4pm - 11pm, Sat 1pm - 11pm, Sun 1pm - 9pm, Mon 4pm - 9pm. 2425 SE 35th Place, Portland, OR 97214, 503.208.2061 www.sewinecollective.com/oui-wine-bar-restaurant

METHOD Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, maple syrup and Dijon mustard. Slowly whisk in olive oil to emulsify.

On a sheet pan lined with parchment paper, lay prosciutto in a flat, even layer without overlapping. Top with another sheet of parchment paper and another sheet pan to hold it flat. Bake until crispy, for about 20 - 25 minutes. Gently break into pieces. Working in batches, cook green peas and sugar snap peas in a large pot of boiling salted water until crisp-tender, about 2 minutes per batch. Immediately transfer to a bowl of ice water and swoosh peas around until cold; this sets their color and halts the cooking. Drain and pat dry with paper towels.

In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook English peas (about 1 minute). Quickly transfer to a bowl of ice water to halt the cooking. Once cold, drain and dry thoroughly.

Julienne the snap peas, creating long, thin strips.

In a large bowl, combine the snap peas, English peas, tarragon, scallions, and hazelnuts. Dress with lemon vinaigrette and season to taste with salt and pepper.

Transfer to large bowl or serving platter and top with crispy prosciutto, goat cheese & mint leaves.
