Architects' private residences are revealing because they typically reflect experimenting with a style and adding very personal touches. The 2023 Portland Modern Home Tour on Saturday, June 3, offers the rare opportunity to see the modest, modern chalet celebrated architect Joachim Grube created in 1966 for his wife, Liz, and children on a hillside in Southwest Portland. Joachim and Liz Grube lived in their home, hosting architects from around the world, for 55 years. 'The Joachim Grube Residence has had very minimal updates and is in nearly vintage condition in every way,' says Jeff Weithman of Real Estate Through Design , who will greet tour goers at the property as will members of the Grube family who still own the property.
