The Royal House by award-winning studio William / Kaven Architecture. Set within the trees at the edge of Forest Park, this intelligently designed modern residence spans a rare 1.25 acres across two protected parcels—securing enduring privacy and uninterrupted forest views for generations. Designed for the Forestand immersed in the beauty of Forest Park, the designer home occupies a singular threshold between city and wilderness—where architecture is shaped as much by light, topography, and canopy as by walls and windows. Spanning two floors, white oak floors and custom, handcrafted oak cabinetry are animated by southern light pouring through floor-to-ceiling glass and wall-to-wall sliding doors, elements that are central to the home’s design language.Widely published and celebrated by The Wall Street Journal, Wallpaper Magazine*, HYPEBEAST, and other leading design platforms, the residence has been recognized for its clarity of vision and seamless integration with the forested landscape.Spanning two legal parcels and directly abutting protected forestland, the residence occupies a condition that would be exceptionally difficult to replicate within today’s regulatory and urban context. The undeveloped parcel may offer potential for future uses such as a sports court, wellness studio, or guest annex.Equally compelling is its access: a place of rare privacy and solitude, yet only minutes from downtown Portland. Few homes achieve this balance—architectural distinction, deep immersion in nature, and immediate access to the cultural life of the city—making The Royal House a truly once-in-a-lifetime offering.
