Raisman Basement Conversion
​SE Portland, Oregon | 2016

This basement conversion added a unique living space to a classic Portland bungalow. A cozy bedroom and a spacious living area were carved out of the underused, underground space below the main house. Sculptural tree roots made of earth and straw weave throughout the space, complimenting a cob bench and immaculate wood cabinetry.
