Riverwood
A stunning estate in Portland, Oregon, brought to life with a refined EIFS stucco system for a smooth, timeless look.
The Challenge:
The homeowners envisioned a Mediterranean retreat right here in the Pacific Northwest – a home with old-world elegance that would stand apart from typical regional architecture. They wanted an exterior finish so smooth it would appear almost sculptural, with clean lines and a seamless flow across the façade. Achieving this level of refinement required precision application across multiple substrate types, including CMU blocks and traditional framing, while ensuring the system could withstand Oregon's wet climate without compromising that pristine finish.
Our Solution:
We designed a comprehensive exterior approach combining EIFS stucco, traditional stucco over CMU blocks, windows, and exterior doors to create a cohesive Mediterranean look. For the ultra-smooth finish the client desired, our team applied multiple refined coats with meticulous attention to surface preparation and finishing techniques. Every transition – from wall to window, door to stucco – was carefully detailed to maintain the seamless appearance. The result required expert craftsmanship at every stage, blending different application methods into one unified, elegant exterior.
The Result: The completed Riverwood Estate is a Mediterranean masterpiece in the heart of Portland – a home that transports you to the hills of Tuscany while standing strong against Pacific Northwest weather. The flawlessly smooth stucco finish creates a refined, timeless aesthetic that will age gracefully for decades. This project showcases how thoughtful material selection and expert application can bring even the most ambitious architectural visions to life.
