Homes, renovations, and ADUs
Architecture for Portland lots and lives
We design new homes, major renovations, and accessory dwelling units. Every project begins with a feasibility study to understand what your lot and budget can support.
Designed for the way you live
Residential design, shaped around you
New homes
Custom homes for city lots, with daylight from two sides in every room and built-in storage that makes daily life work.
Major renovations
We reshape existing homes around how you live, cook, and store things, bringing the brief into the center of the design.
Accessory dwelling units
ADUs make more of a Portland lot, with layouts shaped around the needs of the people who will live there. This work now makes up a third of our practice.
How a project runs
A measured path from site to home
The work moves from early site questions into room-by-room design and construction decisions.
Feasibility study
We examine the site and your plans for it before design decisions begin.
Zoning and cost
We assess zoning and setbacks, then develop a rough construction cost for the project.
Design
We shape rooms around daylight from two sides and built-in storage, with your brief guiding each decision.
Construction
We work with mass-timber and passive-house construction where the budget allows.
A study before the design
Know what your lot and budget can support
Every project starts with a paid, two-hour feasibility study: a realistic assessment of your lot and budget before design begins.
- Assessment of zoning and setbacks for your lot
- A discussion of what your budget can realistically support
- A rough construction cost estimate
