Brilliant or Ridiculous? Portland's Five-Story Forest House Has Reddit Divided

High in Portland's forested West Hills, a 4-bed, 4-bath home rises through the trees across five levels, wrapped in warm wood, walls of glass, and one giant curved green disc bolted to its side. The Reddit user who shared it summed up the reaction perfectly: they couldn't decide if it was absolutely brilliant or completely ridiculous. The top reply? Both.

A Treehouse From a Galaxy Far, Far Away

Commenters couldn't agree on what the house looks like, but they had plenty of guesses: a giant Rolodex, an industrial punch press, a barbecue grill, Tony Stark's idea of a safe house. The most popular take came straight from the forest moon of Endor, with one commenter worried about an Ewok overpopulation problem and another pointing out its resemblance to the helmet Leia wore there. Inside, the debate continued over a towering fireplace surround that viewers said looks remarkably like the bottom of a clothes iron, complete with an oddly placed outlet.

The Feature That Won Everyone Over

The home is the work of internationally known architect Robert Oshatz, an apprentice of Frank Lloyd Wright Jr., and it's the first in a planned collection of five one-of-a-kind homes sharing 90,000 square feet of forested land. Spread across about 3,700 square feet, it has one feature that even skeptics loved: an elevator. As commenters noted, most treehouse-style homes mean hauling groceries up endless stairs, but this one makes all five levels easy to reach, and the driveway sits at ground level too. It's listed at $2,888,000.
