From the agent: "An icon of ’80s modern architecture, this 1986 home in Portland Heights was originally designed by celebrated Portland architect Robert Thompson, founding principal of TVA Architects. The original home was composed of elegant, understated geometric forms featuring high ceilings, sweeping glass block walls and dramatic walls of glass that frame strategic views of the quiet, tree-filled Marquam Nature Park abutting the south property line. The house received an artful total remodel in 2020 from the well-regarded Portland interiors firm Bright Designlab, who seamlessly picked up where the original architecture left off, instilling a repeating motif of granite curves and modern function, making this a true one-of-a-kind home."
Architect Robert Thompson built the home in 1986, just before he began the Nike World Campus project the following year.
