A Modern Home Blends Japanese Design Ideas with Oregon Landscapes

A hillside Oregon home by Ueda Design Studio integrates Japanese design with expansive western views for a family of four.
The dwelling sits on a winding approach that recalls a traditional Japanese tea house, culminating at a garden with a water feature.
The home centers around an 8,000-square-foot open-plan, with a 26-foot-high dining space framing views of Salem and Mt. Hood.
A sculptural suspended staircase uses a folded steel stringer with solid wood treads to balance strength and lightness.
The rooftop deck offers 270-degree views and serves as an all-season entertaining area with a fireplace.
Ground-level spaces blur indoor and outdoor boundaries with large glass walls and continuous materials.
Energy efficiency is a core aim, featuring high-performance windows, continuous insulation, and heat pumps.
The home emphasizes family living with a kitchen that opens to both dining and living areas for easy supervision.
Exterior materials include cedar siding, fiber cement, concrete, steel, and metal roofing for durability.
The project features a dedicated wine room, sauna, and media room in the basement for recreation.
