Architecturally accurate Craftsman features and sustainability were priorities to our clients in SE Portland. We combined Craftsman-style lighting and cabinet details with Marmoleum flooring, concrete countertops and low VOC paint to match their philosophy and lifestyle.
“We hired Mosaik to do a home remodel and had the best experience! Scott and Erin were so wonderful to work with and really listened to our ideas. All of the sub-contractors were very pleasant and skilled at what they do. We just loved the outcome of the project. We would highly recommend them!

How often these days we hear the buzz words, reduce your footprint.
It’s a term that refers to sustainable living; a hot topic here in Portland, where many people are committed to taking up less space, not more. An increasingly popular remodeling idea, many homeowners are excited to learn they can capture unused spaces – basements, attics, garages and ADUs (Accessory Dwelling Units) to increase sq footage and add character and functionality to a home.
We were honored to be invited to participate in Portland’s annual Tour of Remodeled Homes, which included a total of 14 homes around the city and a wonderful variety of remodeling projects. For our showcase project, we transformed a dingy basement to increase living space… without actually adding on. The basement – 1700 sq. feet of unused and virtually forgotten space – was a diamond in the rough just waiting to be re-purposed!
More than 200 people dropped by our Tour home to see how we transformed the narrow, maze-like basement (empty for 16 years) into a bright, fun and practical living space. This re-purposed space increased the value of the home and, even more importantly, provides a wonderful area for relaxing, entertaining, and enjoying family and friends.
