The home’s design unifies two extremes—light and dark, weightless and heavy.

Occupying a small site in a backyard in Portland, this timber-clad ADU guesthouse is a study in making the most of a small footprint. Designed by local practice Webster Wilson Architect and with bright, clean interiors by Pine Street Design, it’s located en route to Laurelhurst Park, making it an ideal base for exploring Portland’s many vibrant and diverse neighbourhoods. There’s also plenty of at-home entertaining space, including a private deck adorned with fairy lights at the rear, and an outdoor shower to enjoy in the warmer weather.

The architects stripped back years of alterations on the one-story bungalow to create a more minimalist and pared-back appearance.

Combining old and new, Renaldi and Boyd placed the latter’s family piano and a painted metal Jean Prouvé bench in the entryway, each a fine counterpoint to the filigree of Magnes’s screen.

With its porches and rows of windows, the still-legible schoolhouse is unwaveringly 19th century.

The Neils House is the only Wright-designed home built with marble walls.

The gabled roof projects several feet beyond the window wall.
