Royal II is the second in a series of homes developed and designed by the Architect on a wooded, steeply sloped site within Portland’s Forest Park, one of the largest forested urban reserves in the United States. The design began with a simple thesis: create an opportunity to live among the trees without sacrificing the convenience and connectivity offered by urban life. A simple material palette of dark steel, concrete, glass and custom bronze-black cladding grounds the house within the surrounding treescape, while an encircling green roof blurs the distinction between architecture and woods.
