Gateway to Adventure
​
The Byway is a thoughtfully designed workforce housing community that offers modern living with exceptional access to the mountains and the outdoor lifestyle that makes Central Oregon so unique. The design embraces the spirit of exploration while creating comfortable, functional homes for people who live and work in the community.
​
As lead interior designer, I collaborated throughout the design process to create welcoming amenity spaces and residential interiors that balance durability, functionality, and warmth. Material selections, finishes, lighting, furnishings, and carefully considered details work together to create spaces that are both inviting and timeless.
​
The Byway demonstrates that thoughtfully designed housing can enrich everyday life, fostering a strong sense of community while celebrating the natural beauty and active lifestyle that surround it.​
