Case Study
Westside Bend Renovation
The Junkin’s sought to transform a developer “spec” house in a desirable Bend neighborhood into a home built to last. This home renovation in Bend aimed to maximize space and create a cohesive flow throughout the house, especially in the vaulted great room, where new square footage was added to accommodate a dining banquette. The entry and rear yard were also expanded to provide a sense of openness and connection with the outdoors.



Challenges and Solutions
Scale and Balance
- Challenge: With vaulted ceilings and new additions, maintaining the room’s scale and cohesion was a key focus for this home renovation in Bend.
- Solution: We introduced poplar wainscoting and a central island to ground the space, ensuring the new additions felt integrated rather than overpowering.
Maximizing Daylight and Outdoor Connection
- Challenge: The original layout lacked sufficient natural light and outdoor flow.
- Solution: Additional skylights were installed to flood the interiors with natural light, and we expanded the rear yard and entry to improve the connection between indoor and outdoor spaces.
Outcome and Satisfaction
This addition, and home renovation in Bend, delivered on the family’s vision for a comfortable, spacious home that blends with its surroundings. The project was completed without warranty callbacks, underscoring the quality of the build, and their choice of home remodeling general contractors in Bend. Focusing on design, we added 8′ poplar wood wainscoting, a central island as a gathering point, and a new fireplace to bring warmth and scale to the room.
