Living Roof Architecture Portland Japanese Garden

Tim Trautmann @timtrautmann.com · 2w Portland Japanese Garden, 611, Southwest Kingston Avenue, Arlington Heights, Portland, Multnomah County, Oregon, 97205, United States

A striking contemporary pavilion emerges from the Portland Japanese Garden, its grass-covered living roof seamlessly blending into the surrounding Pacific Northwest forest. The building's modernist design features vertical wooden slats, metal roofing, and floor-to-ceiling windows that reveal warm interior lighting at dusk. A solitary figure silhouetted in the left entrance adds human scale to the architectural composition, while a crimson Japanese maple provides a delicate counterpoint to the structure's bold horizontal lines.
