Home Design

Design is personal and at the center of all home construction & renovation.

Whether we are helping choose colors or how to best use space to make it more livable, potential clients often ask, “Do you do modern, traditional, upscale, budget-minded, bungalow, prairie, interior design, facades, commercial? Can you give me more for less?” The answer is “Yes, we do and yes, we can!”

Bungalow Design

Raymond Street, Portland Home Kitchen

The Multnomah Villager II is an Old Portland Bungalow Style Home concept inspired by the Historic Neighborhood itself. Featuring well-designed living space both in and out, it allows the future homeowner to live large on a small carbon footprint.

Budget-Minded Design

Budget Minded Home DesignThis owner had an older rental property, sitting with many maintenance issues astride two small lots.  This owner decided to triple his income and halve his headaches associated with an older home.  We demolished the older home, divided the lots and built two new homes!  Each house has a variety of modern conveniences, including: energy efficiency and a garage.

Innovative Design

Is your project outside the box? We excel at innovative design solutions.

Do you have a great idea but are finding that no one can see (or wants to see) your vision? At Capital Builders, we are “cutting-edge, grounded in common sense”.  We have successfully completed many “first’s” in Portland: the first three/four unit condominium complex, the first narrow-lot duplex on a 25′ wide lot . . . to name a few.  Many contractors specialize in one thing and they do it again and again.  Whether an ADU, an artist space, outdoor living space or a chicken coop, we get things done!

Mobile Chicken Coop

Trailer mounted, detachable nests and feeding bins.This chicken coop has housed up to 50 chickens. An expanded metal (wire mesh) floor allows the droppings to fall through to the ground. Being mounted on a trailer chassis allows the coop to be moved when the droppings accumulate.

Detached Condo
