Belluschi Pavilion
A small but historically significant home designed by noted Portland architect Pietro Belluschi will come to the Marylhurst University campus.
The 911-square-foot home designed in 1951 by Belluschi for Arthur and Lucy Griffith of Lake Oswego is believed to be one of only a few Belluschi-designed residences still standing unaltered, and the only one of its kind in Lake Oswego, Oregon.
The Italian-born Belluschi was involved in the design of an estimated 1,000 buildings over his 50-year career, including the Portland Art Museum, the Julliard School of Music in New York and St. Mary’s Cathedral in San Francisco. He is widely known as the creator of the Northwest style of architecture, and his homes were constructed to take advantage of their natural surroundings and available light.
The home is essentially one large room, featuring cork floors, hemlock paneling and beamed ceilings. The house – now in 2,000 pieces, all numbered and measured – sits in a 48-foot storage container awaiting reconstruction and restoration.
When reconstructed on the University campus, the house will be the focal point of the future Belluschi Pavilion, providing educational opportunities for Marylhurst students and the architectural community.
Fundraising efforts are now underway to pay for the costs of siting, permitting, reconstructing and restoring the Belluschi house.
