"Paley’s Place Bistro & Bar has been an Oregon institution since its February 1995 opening. Owned and operated by husband-and-wife team Vitaly and Kimberly Paley, the critically-acclaimed restaurant is located within Portland’s leafy Northwest district and prides itself on elegant fare that clearly showcases local, sustainably-produced food." paleysplace.net

Charged with bringing a fresh perspective to this well-loved space, we tried to honor the Paley's history while simultaneously adding modern elements. "Casual Elegance" became our design motto as we sourced new finishes and created custom furniture. The effect is fresh and modern, yet welcoming and familiar.

Located within a converted Victoria home, Paley's place has many architectural delights like these original leaded glass windows.

Paley's Place has always been a leader in the Farm to Table movement in Oregon. This set of black and white images pays homage to some of their providers.
With only 19 table tops, Paley' Place is an intimate dining experience.
Twenty-one years ago, the Paley's opened their restaurant with classic wooden Windsor chairs. These custom metal and wood chairs are a modern interpretation of that classic shape, referencing the past while also looking toward the future.

We worked closely with Vakker Design to create memorable arrangements. This one features radishes, a nod to Vitaly Paley's 2011 triumph on Iron Chef America.
The restaurant is peppered with memorabilia, including this "Fork to the City" presented to Vitaly Paley by Portland Mayor Sam Adams in commemoration of his Iron Chef win.
We considered every detail, including how to address this often used vestibule. Custom steel wainscoting adds a modern/industrial feel, but serves a very real purpose in protecting the walls from daily abuse via product deliveries.

These wonderful East Coast clients reached out after visiting family in Portland and seeing our work firsthand. The couple both work from home, and were in the process of finally harnessing their unused basement space to increase their home’s functionality.
They needed to carve out space for a full bathroom, laundry room, kitchenette, and a full-time office for a video production company that could then also serve as a part-time family room and/or guest room.
They were also very clear that the new bathroom needed to not only be functional for work hours, but also have a soothing and spa-like feel for post hot-tubs and weekend relaxation,
Working closely with their East Coast-based contractor we were able to provide a custom bathroom design that completely fits their aesthetic and needs, all without ever seeing the space in person!

In the heart of downtown Santa Fe, Casa Peña Serena (serene abode) offers three fully-furnished rental retreats on a quiet side street. We worked closely with the owners and management team to preserve each unit’s historic New Mexican architectural details while adding plenty of modern and luxurious upgrades.
Walking distance to world-class dining; Santa Fe Plaza, concerts, museums and shopping, rooftop bars for sunset viewing, art districts of Canyon Road and The Railyard, you could not be better situated to enjoy The City Different!

While Casetta Bel Canto is the smallest unit, we've designed it with ease of movement in mind, and have maximized the 580 sq. ft. to give you a spacious and airy feeling.
With three skylights throughout, the unit is bathed in light.
Carefully chosen textiles (supima cotton bedding, an imported hand-embroidered pillow, and a vintage kilim rug) and original fine art help to create a sense of luxury rarely found in rentals.
Casetta Verdi is a romantic, serene, bungalow where New Mexico architecture, Santa Fe art, and plenty of modern details come together to create a quiet oasis in the heart of the city.

Custom shelving to store a music lovers collection.
Shortly after installation.
With fourteen foot tall ceilings, this loft could handle a significantly sized shelving unit. So we designed a custom ten foot tall and ten foot wide unit to house the homeowners collection of vinyl, CDs, books, and art.
