A unique home under construction in Portland, OR, appears otherworldly—but it’s actually on the verge of becoming a reality in the Pacific Northwest.

“It’s a concept house, one of five that are part of a community of homes on an acre of green space,” explains listing agent Delia Slattery.

The man behind the design is architect Robert Harvey Oshatz. With framing almost complete, the first home is now on the market for $2.6 million. The buyer can personalize the finishes.

Oshatz lives in the Portland area, but his fascinating designs can be found all over the world, including in Japan, South America, and the Pacific Northwest.

“I see architecture as a synthesis of logic and emotion, exploring and fulfilling the dreams, fantasies and realities of my clients,” Oshatz explains on his website.

“There must be surprise, mystery, beauty and delight, elements that make architecture rewarding to its users for a lifetime,” adds Oshatz, who worked and studied under Frank Lloyd Wright Jr.

For the Portland home, Oshatz used “a combination of Asian [influences] with Pacific Northwest architecture,” explains Slattery. Along with wood, modern materials like steel and aluminum were used in the construction.

The community of homes is designed for multigenerational living. The homes will be built on a forested hillside with no lawn, yard, or landscaping required. Also, elevators in the residences will help facilitate aging in place.

The home currently under construction has 3,700 square feet of living space, including four bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms. The architectural design will feature calming spherical motifs throughout.

Fabulous flourishes will include walls of glass, curved ceilings, a green roof, and beautiful forest views.

According to Slattery, one of the community’s many assets is the location. The community will be situated near the Willamette Stone State Heritage Site, and it’s a quick drive to downtown Portland, according to Slattery.

Beyond the sale of the initial home, Slattery says the idea is to have like-minded people buy into the architect’s vision for the five-home development.

That subsequent quartet of buyers will then be able to commission Oshatz to build unique and complementary homes on the remaining lots. If all five homes come to fruition, it will be a cool community of daring design.
