Portland Monthly

A Portland couple re–imagines the classic tudor.

A sunny wink of a front door punctuates the cool gray face of Risa Boyer Leritz and Nick Leritz’s home. Fronds of black mondo grass and a sleek concrete path usher visitors past a vivid orange table and chairs. Inside, a sense of serene elegance finished with a flash of color continues with sly pops of chartreuse and fuchsia set against a backdrop of neutral tones, midcentury furniture, and white marble. It’s a polished surface with a sense of adventure lurking beneath.

Three years ago, Portland lured the couple from Los Angeles. Risa, an architect with her own practice, and Nick, an energy management consultant, were eager to put their mark on a home of their own.
