A-200 / Practice

Plan first, then section, then build.

A good building comes from a close look at the site, the light and the way you actually use a place. The work moves from your words to drawings to something a builder can make.

01

Listen

It starts with your site and how you live or work there. Bring the wish list, the photos you've saved and the things that bother you about the place now.

02

Draw

Sketches, plans and sections, then models, so you can see the light, the views and how the rooms connect before anything is fixed.

03

Build

Drawings a builder can price and build from. Ask how the studio stays involved once work starts on site.

A-300 / Services

What we can draw for you

Not sure which one fits? Describe the project and ask.

S-01

New houses

A house drawn for one site and one household, from the first sketch to permit drawings.

S-02

Renovations and additions

A new kitchen wing, an opened-up ground floor or a second storey on the house you already have.

S-03

Interiors

Layouts, built-in joinery, lighting and finishes for homes and workplaces.

S-04

Feasibility and planning

Before you buy or commit: what a site can hold, what the zoning allows and what to ask the city first.

Where the drawings happen

Plans, sections and models are made here in Portland. Ask to visit and see the work up close, and bring your own plans, photos or just the address of your site.

  • Principal architect

    Leads each project from the first site visit to the last walk-through.

  • Project architect

    Turns the design into drawings, permits and answers for the builder.

  • Interior designer

    Rooms, finishes, lighting and the pieces you live with every day.

  • Drafting and models

    Plans, sections and the physical models you can hold in your hands.

  • A budget range and when you'd like to start
