A remarkable example of Pacific Northwest Modernism, the Wood Products Research House is an architecturally significant work by celebrated PNW architect Paul Hayden Kirk. One of many defining features is an extraordinary roof composed of four wood hyperbolic-paraboloid structures, independently supported by just four posts and laminated beams creating the impression that the home floats within its natural setting. Designed in association with a plywood industry research organization and Living for Young Homemakers magazine, the residence was nationally published in 1961 as a showcase of innovative residential design. Inside, warm hemlock paneled walls give way to dramatic expanses of glass that follow the roof's angular geometry, filling the open-concept living spaces with natural light and blurring the boundary between architecture and landscape. The highly livable floor plan offers 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, while an expansive deck provides an exceptional setting for entertaining and overlooks the private, natural backyard. Tucked along a quiet Wilburton street beside Glendale Golf Course and approximately one block from Kelsey Creek Park. This is far more than a mid-century home, it is a nationally recognized work of architecture and a rare opportunity to own an important piece of Pacific Northwest design history.
