Asian Themed Mid-Century Remodel
Asain Themed Mid-Century Remodel
In this Home Remodel, we completely demolished the existing dining, living, and family rooms down to the foundation. By renovating the foundation, we were able to enlarge the spaces and make them more livable. The duct work below the floor was upgraded during the home remodeling. We framed new (thicker) walls and installed fiberglass BIBS (blown-in blanket system) insulation in the walls and ceiling. The owner liked the look of modern materials, so with our interior design skills, Paralam beams were selected and used for headers and structural members. We created custom, clear vertical grain fir cabinets. The position of the entry door was relocated and numerous upgrades were made to the home during its complete renovation. We remodeled the kitchen, the main entrance to the house, and the upstairs bedroom suite as well.
“I’ve had major renovations done on four houses, including a 100 year old 3-story townhouse in Chicago, this has been by far the best and smoothest remodel experience in my life”

Project Details
Ipe Hardwood Flooring
The floors, decks and some exterior window trim are Ipe hardwood. This is a tropical hardwood that is sustainably harvested. It takes a skilled and experienced carpenter to successfully install this extremely hard and durable product.
Aging In Place
This dishwasher was raised for ease of use. We have extensive knowledge and experience working with clients who want to remain in their home comfortably for years to come, as well as clients with disabilities.
Copper Rain Chain
Instead of standard downspouts, we installed a hammered copper cup rain chain. A note of caution: in rainy, blustery Corvallis, some may regret this choice since water splashes well beyond the chain.
Fire charred pantry
To create a unique look, we torched the wood doors of the cabinets, then wirebushed loose char off, before sealing the cabinets with lacquer. Please ask us about custom touches for your project.

What our Clients are Saying
“They worked with our original idea & tweaked/adjusted it until we found the perfect design. Using that design, the skilled craftsmen at the GCCI cabinet shop created a stunning black walnut entertainment center. To top off our experience with GCCI, an amazing installation crew spent four days in our home as they expertly finished our unit. All 3 men who made up the installation crew treated our home as if it were their own. Their clean up at the end of every day assured we would not be tripping over blocks of wood or spreading saw dust all over the house. A big thank you to the design team of Elizabeth & Ron, & to the construction & installation team of Dennis, Bobby & Theo. ”

“We asked Christianson to design and build an entertainment center, a built in bookshelf and a built in desk and credenza. Designer Elizabeth captured our concept and turned it into a beautiful design plan. Ron at the cabinet shop came up with ideas for materials we would have never thought of. All the guys in the cabinet shop got excited about our project and we could tell we were in the hands of skilled craftsman. Jon kept us informed of the timing of construction throughout the project. They truly customized the space and the overall product exceeded our expectations.”

“They cared about our vision on our new home and went the extra mile to meet our expectations. They built our house in 2017 and have been standing behind their work, even years later.”
