BRIMMING WITH
CHARACTER
For a family with a plum private lot in Lake Oswego, a major addition meant all the benefits of a new home
without the move. Architect Dave Giulietti and designer Taryn Emerson worked together to ensure this cottage-style
home retained its farmhouse charms, even as it grew.

FOR THE SCOTTI FAMILY, GROWING KIDS AND A LOVE OF ENTERTAINING started to make their charming Lake Oswego home feel a
little cramped. Yet their home’s killer location made the idea of moving hard to
swallow, especially in a housing market with very low inventory. It’s one of those
“good problems,” but a problem nevertheless.
“I even went to look at other houses because we thought maybe we should just
move, but I had a really hard time finding another place that matched the loca-
tion and neighborhood of our existing house,” says homeowner Marlise Scotti.
“We live on a dead-end street on an acre in Lake Oswego, and half of that is
forest, so we have such wonderful privacy.”
So instead of moving, the Scottis decided to expand. First step? Finding an
architect who could help them design an addition that felt true to their cot-
tage-style home while giving them the space they needed. At first, they tried to
track down the architect who had done a previous addition to the home, but af-
ter they came up empty handed, they got in touch with architect Dave Giulietti
at Giulietti Schouten AIA Architects in Northwest Portland. Something in the
stars must have been aligned.
“When they walked into the office, I saw them carrying the plot plans, and im-
mediately, I knew which house it was,” says Dave. “I said, ‘Before you get too far
into it, look at this.’ I pulled out our portfolio, and I opened up to their house.
It was quite a surprise! I did a phased remodel on this house back in 1989, two
owners previous to the Scottis.”
Already intimately familiar with the home, Dave and the Scottis set about devel-
oping a plan for the addition. “The house was fairly nice, it had a very efficient
floorplan but was rather small for them,” says Dave. Together, they determined
the priorities of the addition: Increase the size and improve the functionality of
the kitchen, add more bedroom space, and create additional storage space. The
remodel also included the creation of an outdoor deck area for cooking and
entertaining, as well as some private outdoor deck space off the master bedroom
suite. All told, the addition was a bit over 1,200 square feet in size, increasing the
square footage of the home from 2,764 to 3,950.
During the planning process, Dave had to create a layout that took the lot’s to-
pography into account, including what he euphemistically calls a “seasonal wa-
ter feature”—a stream—to the south. Tight set backs and zoning also provided
restrictions, further limiting the available space.
Yet another factor to consider was sunlight. “We wanted to make sure we created
enough width between the existing sunroom and new addition so we didn’t cut
off late afternoon sunlight to the existing deck,” says Dave. “In essence, from an
L-shaped house, we created a C-shaped house with a central courtyard deck,
and it was important to maintain adequate light into the kitchen.”
Much of the new space was added towards the back of the home, leaving the
attractive front façade intact and virtually unchanged. “We did have to do one
modification to one of the roof dormers, but looking at it, you wouldn’t know
there was a change,” says Dave.

To underscore the home’s established farmhouse style, Taryn designed a rustic hutch to bring a warmer, more traditional feel into the kitchen. Countertops and backsplash are Calacatta Vet-togli marble sourced from Intrepid Marble & Granite. “Throw-ing in a lot of texture was important,” says Taryn. “In the kitchen alone, you have this really cool Ann Sacks white brick behind the range, the distressed wood hood, the hutch, and the back-splash, which is a beautiful glass mosaic.”

With the architectural plans complete, it was time to choose a design-
er. Marlise already had a partner in mind: Taryn Emerson, principal of
Taryn Emerson Interiors. “Our kids were in preschool together,” says
Marlise. “I had them over for a play date once, and after that I said to my
husband, ‘If we ever do a remodel, I want to call her.’”
Taryn had an intuitive understanding of the modern farmhouse-indus-
trial style the Scottis wanted, and was dedicated to making it feel contig-
uous with the existing structure. “Everything I do in any house with an
addition, it’s critical it feels like it’s always been there,” says Taryn. “This
house looks like it belongs in the English countryside. It’s a very charm-
ing, cottage-style home, and we really wanted to maintain that feel in
the new spaces while modernizing it at the same time.”
As avid home cooks and frequent entertainers, the Scottis wanted a
kitchen that delivered on function as well as form. Appliances and stor-
age spaces were laid out to minimize wasted movement and make rou-
tine tasks more efficient. “When we empty the dishwasher, everything
is close by,” says Marlise. “Whereas in the past we had to walk further
with things so we’d get little drops of water everywhere.” Wolf, SubZero,
Sharp, and Miele appliances were sourced from Eastbank Contractor
Appliance.
To minimize countertop clutter, Taryn designed an “appliance garage”
that stores smaller electric appliances like the toaster, mixer, coffee ma-
chine, and soda maker in pullout cupboards under the countertops,
with each equipped with outlets on the interior. Marlise says it’s made a
big difference in how the kitchen feels. “We don’t have things cluttered
all over the counters anymore, which makes it a space I can actually have
guests in,” says Marlise. “By the time they arrive, everything is shoved
away and I just have a big cheese platter on the marble.”
That clean-lined look is even more dramatic in this kitchen, which
boasts long, expansive countertops and custom cabinetry built by NW
Line of Style Cabinet Design. The Scottis were committed to using real
marble for the countertops, even with its potential to stain and etch.
“It was a real treat to get to work with marble, which basically nobody
lets me do anymore,” Taryn laughs. “It’s a material that’s been around
forever, and it was important for this homeowner to have.” Intrepid
Marble was able to source and supply the extra-long marble slabs for
this kitchen.
Another remarkable surface in this home can be found in the master
bathroom, which uses porcelain tile that mimics hardwood flooring. It’s
a stunning effect, especially in the curbless shower, which also features
Delta and Grohe plumbing fixtures from George Morlan Plumbing
Supply. The painted finish on the master bathroom vanity mirrors the
distressed finish on the kitchen hutch, and is topped with the same sat-
iny marble slabs.
“Working with Taryn and Dave has been amazing,” says Marlise, “And
I would definitely recommend them. Dave really listened. I didn’t even
think it was possible to fix all the issues we had, and his first plan had
already fixed them all. Taryn came with designs I never would have
thought of that were just fabulous. I love, love, love my new house.”

LEFT AND THIS PAGE In the master bathroom, large format textured tiles from Porcelanosa stretch from floor to ceiling behind the freestanding bathtub, creating an accent wall that’s simultaneously subtle and bold. Vanity countertop is Calacatta Vettogli marble from Intrepid Marble & Granite. Wood-look porcelain floors create a feeling of continuity within the home. “They have dark hardwood floors every-where, and we didn’t want a big transition into tile necessar-ily.” The mirror and ladder shelving were custom-fabricated from salvaged wood.
