Willamette Valley Residence

Modern Italian Inspired Estate

A clean, modern aesthetic meets northern Italy in the heart of the Willamette Valley. This estate is the picture of perfection with its sculpted plantings, formal fountains, a great lawn, and bocce ball court overlooking the valley. The cobblestone driveway traverses down to the house flanked by lavender and roses. At the terminal end, a bronze entry gate awaits, beckoning entry. The walled central courtyard within is home to formal boxwood plantings, a sculpture garden, and two large fountains. To the east, the view opens with the great lawn and dining terrace, a space that is ideal for entertaining guests or relaxing in the evening sun.

From the initial placement of the house and buildings to the seasonal flowers planted annually, this project has aged well with intent. Great care was taken in selecting the original materials, with the specific objective that they continue to patina and add character to this European influenced estate. The privacy of the walled courtyard is enjoyed by the client every day. It has become a mainstay for the large gatherings and events that are often held on the estate in celebration of birthdays, weddings, and large family events.
