From the agent: "As one of only a few known homes designed by the noted Portland architect Richard A. Campbell, the Campbell Residence was designed as his personal retreat. It was later carefully renovated by local architect Paul McKean of Paul McKean Architecture. The residence is a unique and storied home and a stunning example of Northwest Regional Modernism. It is now being offered on the market for the second time since being built in 1965. Also known today as the Cain-Wong Residence, the home is nestled into a quiet hillside in Southwest Portland and is surrounded by towering trees and forested grounds."
Noted Portland architect Richard Campbell designed this two-story residence as his primary home on a sloping, wooded lot in Portland’s Highland Crest neighborhood. The 1966 dwelling was renovated by Paul McKean Architecture in two phases, from 2011 to 2013 and 2018 through 2019.

The Campbell Residence—also known as the Cain Wong Residence, as it is currently owned by Aaron Cain and Annie Wong—is "a fusion of a carefully crafted, Japanese-influenced, beam-and-purlin vaulted roof system; an elegant, exposed-concrete pier structural system; generous, custom-milled windows; and custom, built-in furniture throughout," says the listing agent.

Vaulted cedar ceilings and Douglas fir beams cap the living spaces on the main level. During the first phase of the renovation by Paul McKean Architecture, the kitchen was fully updated with quartz countertops, 14-gauge stainless-steel backsplash, and new cabinets with detailing designed to match the original millwork. "Two under-counter KitchenAid refrigerators were added along with a new dishwasher, induction cooktop, and electric oven," says the listing agent.
