The late, respected architect Saul Zaik had no client he needed to please when he designed an intimate midcentury house for his family near Northwest Portland’s Forest Park. On a half-acre of wooded land, Zaik created a dwelling in 1961 with an open floor plan under vaulted ceilings. His spare aesthetic was achieved with Douglas fir planks and wall-size windows that reflect the outdoors. After six decades of ownership, the Zaik family is selling their home at 720 N.W. Saint Helens Ave. for the first time.
