Vintage Modus chairs by Kristian Solmer Vedel for Søren Willadsen Møbelfabrik sit at one end of the library in Wook’s studio. “For me, reading books is almost my entire daily routine,” says the architect. The building, which is divided into sections, also contains a workroom for Jinnie and a guest room. “The main thing was that the houses in this neighborhood were very small, so l thought it would be good if this building had a slightly divided structure,” says Wook. “When you enter inside, it’s one space, but the form ended up being a house with several different roof shapes.”

The open kitchen is the heart of the home—there is no living room. The island was designed by Wook Choi.

The dining table is from Chilean furniture shop Moblia and the pendants are from Interlight.

The open kitchen is the home’s heart—and its literal center, designed so the couple can host casual gatherings with friends and family. Iragüen Viñuela chose light gray granite countertops, and matching engineered wood cabinets.

The house is clad with shou sugi ban-treated cedar siding.

The living room, just steps away from the kitchen, enjoys natural light on both sides thanks to a row of sliding-glass doors.

The downstairs bedrooms enjoy a covered patio, which can be enjoyed even during Oregon's frequently rainy weather.

The custom wood screens bring privacy while still allowing the window light to spread. The stairway leads to downstairs bedrooms. The Akari 23A Pendant is by Noguchi. The artwork is by Jon Gottshall.

Al Stone made these wood coffee tables. Father and daughter made and stained the wood screens.

In the living room, a wood stove keeps temperatures cozy. The artwork (of the ill-fated St. Francis Dam and reservoir) is by Al Stone, as is the built-in stove platform and bench seat. The sofa is from Blu Dot, the vintage Risom Lounge Chairs from Knoll and pillows by Kiriko Made.

The Ikea cabinet doors have pulls by Schoolhouse, and are paired with custom shelving by Al Stone. The backsplash tile is Zenia Solar Fielde Matte by Bedrosians. The pottery is by the Los Angeles studio Kat and Roger.

Al Stone made Zoe's dining room table, which is paired with Wayfairer chairs. The kitchen island (also made by Al) is topped with EleMar Oregon leathered granite countertops.

The entry, seen here at night, pops out from the pitched-roof house to provide a larger foyer.

Zoé Stone's home is nestled into a forested hillside that had never been built on before. Others had shied away from its engineering challenges, but not Zoé and her dad.

Every room in the home, be it the top-floor great room or the downstairs bedrooms, open onto outdoor patios.

Wang and the owners were meticulous about the cabinetry. They hand-selected each piece of the oak veneer to line up perfectly across each front.

Kyu Sung and Jung-Ja take in the view from the rear deck. Behind them is the house Kyu Sung designed for the couple and their children in 1989.

Another view of the bedroom opens into the adjoining bathroom.
