The story of this unusual house began with another home designed by architect Ben Waechter in the same neighborhood of Portland, Oregon. The remarkable trapezoid shape and groundbreaking house design captured the imagination of interior designer Jeanne Feldkamp, who runs Heirloom Modern with her husband Dan Diephouse co-owns Corollary Wines. As soon as the couple found a suitable plot in Portland, they asked Waechter Architects to start work on their dream modernist home.
Its construction was completed in 2024 and, says Jeanne, 'combines elements of modernism – design clarity, a reinvention of traditional forms, large expanses of glass – with a brutalist sense of physicality that celebrates raw, honest materials'.
