Custom Green Design in Buckman

Contemporary eco-friendly home built by Hammer and Hand and designed by architect Brian Sweeney for his own family, as featured in Oregon Home’s Green Living Magazine’s 2009 issue. Modernest style meets down-to-earth warmth in this custom masterpiece, with bamboo flooring, salvaged beams, a curved clay plaster wall, and effortless connection to the outdoors throughout. Careful attention to detail makes for easy living here with radiant floor heating and abundant natural light, even in the lower-level spaces.

On the ground floor you’ll find a separate entrance to a spacious home office, media room, 3/4 bath, and workshop/art room: continue to utilize these spaces in their present form or explore the potential to create separate living quarters here. The open-plan main floor features a gas fireplace, cook’s kitchen, and library nook and is well suited for dinner parties and quiet evenings alike. Upstairs, enjoy the private balcony off the primary suite, or access the home’s rooftop deck overlooking the unique green roof with a bird’s eye view of the street’s lush tree canopy.

Enjoy life in vibrant Buckman with some of Portland’s premiere parks, dining, and entertainment a short stroll away.
