太陽いっぱいのホーソーン-ベルモントカサデカンポ

When we were younger we lost moments by thinking there's more out there. But the lessons of time (being parents has helped), has made us try harder to be present, to let the future be special, but not more special than the now. When the day in day out pushes us too far into the future, traveling always brings us back to the present.

We love Portland, we love calling this city home, so the goal in building the tiny house was building a space that felt like home to travelers, whether it be for one night or thirty. Just stepping out into the neighborhood provides everything you need to feel like a Portlander, but the hope was not only feeling like a Portlander when you are out but also when you come home. The two-story tiny house has a full kitchen with a gas range because this city is surrounded by the best organic produce in the world. The comfy bed looks up at three skylights so you can see what you're sleeping under. The 13 windows turns the tiny house into a tree house. The two red dutch doors because dutch doors are just cool and opening the tops open up the house even more. And the loft lets you stretch and practice yoga, daydream or nap or simply provides a cool space to read.

You could come planning to see Portland and be content never leaving the neighborhood. With that said, we also love the key pad lock and how it makes coming and going so easy. And how the downstairs kitchen space is where we always find ourselves hanging out. And how the wrap around porch and side patio is perfect for morning coffee or an afternoon beer and book. And how the tall ceilings and sky lights make upstairs feel like sleeping in a tree house. And the metal porch roof how it makes it hard to get out of bed on rainy mornings. To us there is just something magical about the space. It's in the middle of everything, but quiet and peaceful. It's tiny but it's huge. It's new but it looks two hundred years old. It just feels like home.
