We’re part of the PDX Modern Home Tour 2026 — and this Lake Oswego home is worth your time.

📍 Lake Oswego
📅 June 6, 2026
Early bird tickets are available.

This project is a masterclass in architectural problem-solving, transforming a disjointed residence into a sophisticated home for hosting and high-design living. While the original home featured beautiful T&G vaulted ceilings, it was hampered by a fractured layout, wasted square footage, and a complete lack of functional dining space.

Discover how a lighting designer homeowner and an architect, known for a thoughtful, out-of-the-box approach, use light, honest materials, and a restrained palette to transform a challenging renovation into a serene, modern home.

Ella Mills of Biella Lighting Design shares how ARKA Cabinetry’s custom millwork and her curated lighting work together to create a refined, welcoming, and functional home.

#livingroom #interiordesign #lightinginspiration #luxuryhomes

Lighting can make or break the design of any space. And integrating light directly into custom casework is a special kind of craftsmanship.

Ella Mills of Biella Lighting Design walks us through the details of this project and how she used lighting to shape the mood and elevate the entire space.

The Sherwood Pedestrian Bridge reflects the city’s growth and community spirit.
 
Local residents and advisory groups shaped its design, from the artistic details to the lighting that defines its presence after sunset. The sweeping arches are traced with light, offering both elegance and the flexibility for seasonal displays. Built offsite in modular sections before being assembled on location, it minimized potential disruption caused by construction.
 
Lighting designer’s vision was realized with STR10® Color-Changing luminaires powered by INFINITY® power supply system. And with COLOR-STREAM® and COLOR-AMP® technologies, creating a dynamic landmark for the city.

Nice to see our project on the cover. Great collaboration between @rickberryhouses @otisconstruction @2.inkstudio

If you need a little something to brighten your day, stop by Pistils nursery shop at their new(ish) NW location. They have plenty of gorgeous plants and pots to choose from. #supportsmallbusiness #supportlocal #lightingdesign #biella #biellalighting

We are thrilled and honored that #PedestrianBridge project @lewisandclarkcollege received IES Award of Merit for Exterior Lighting. Thank you, Doug and Michel for this exciting opportunity.

We have heard some great news this week! @mahlumarch new Portland Studio is now THE FIRST and officially Living Building Challenge certified project in Portland, OR! We are very proud and excited for them and for the entire design and construction team, and honored to have been a part of the process. #mahlumarch #biellalighting #lincolnbarbourphoto

How can one not feel welcomed back when greeted by this?
