This iconic 1960?s modernist home was commissioned by artist Eric Marcoux and his husband, Eugene Woodworth. Sole owners since its construction, it is believed to have been designed by Portland architect Alfred Edelman. The home showcases the distinctive lines, proportions, and materials emblematic of Portland?s mid-century modernist architects such as Storrs, Zaik, and Belluschi. Edelman?s move to Oregon was driven by a position at the U of O Architectural School. By 1965, he had settled in the Willamette Heights neighborhood and joined the local firm Zaik/Miller. Edelman?s daughter shared that her father?s work was driven by core principles of science, nature, craft, and design. His teachings encouraged ideas and diverse perspectives, often fostering lively and thought-provoking dialogue. This home embodies those values, acting as a testament to Edelman?s vision.Marcoux attended art school at Portland Art Museum, later teaching there and continuing his artistic practice throughout his life. His creative spirit and Edelman?s architectural expertise blend seamlessly in this home, with rumors suggesting that Marcoux paid for the architectural plans using his own artwork?adding to the home?s personal and artistic significance. The space was filled with Marcoux?s art, infusing it with a vibrant, creative energy that perfectly complements Edelman?s thoughtful design.Surrounded by mature bamboo, the home is an artist?s sanctuary. Its large windows bring in soft, dappled light, blending the tranquility of nature with the living spaces. With cedar-lined walls, custom cabinetry, and ceilings soaring over 20 feet high, rooms reveal a meticulous attention to the impact of proportion. The second level, originally designed as a glasshouse, and a spacious unfinished basement provide ample opportunities for future re-imagining. A rare driveway adds convenience, while the lush bamboo provides a serene backdrop, creating an urban retreat in the heart of the city. [Home Energy Score = 1.
