William Kaven Architecture designed this incredible contemporary waterfront home nestled on the east bank of the Willamette River in the Oak Grove neighborhood of Portland, Oregon.

In addition to offering a sweeping panorama of the river and its wildlife, this 4,607-square-foot home overlooks boat docks, freight barges, and an early 20th-century railroad bridge, recalling the city’s industrial roots.

The design is oriented around a large maple tree that already existed on the site, allowing the entire home to continuously open up from the river to the courtyard.

Straight across the courtyard from the entrance, the glazed wall of the main house offers a direct sightline through the living area to the river.

The home’s floor-to-ceiling windows allow the courtyard to feel less like an enclosure than a liminal space that furnishes a dramatic reveal of the breathtaking views to the west.

With an exterior constructed of cedar, aluminum, and board-formed concrete, this dwelling is a modern addition to the neighborhood, which consists primarily of 60s- and 70s-era ranch-style homes.
