A classic midcentury residence, designed by noted Oregon architect John Yeon, was rescued from demolition and transformed–on a tight budget and timeline–into the centerpiece of a showhouse fundraiser overlooking Portland, Oregon.

Known as The Shaw House, it occupies a prominent hilltop with emerald views, and was featured on the cover of House Beautiful in 1953 as “How You Will Live in the Next America.”

Not a period restoration but a rejuvenation with a timeless mix of styles that rest side-by-side, showing off their sleek silhouettes in the light of the abundant windows. Unexpected choices keep the mood light and collected, not mod or anachronistic, with each ingredient chosen for its design merit, not its date.
