Our design philosophy is firmly rooted in innovation and craft. Our intent is to create evocative, poetic, and responsible designs to elevate the human experience for all of our projects, no matter the type, size or budget. We foster the development of long-term client, contractor, and employee relationships. Steve, the firm founder, has been a practicing architect for the past 34 years and a Design Principal in two large innovative firms here in Portland and an adjunct professor of architecture at the University of Oregon. With his years of accumulated knowledge and broad experience he has built a thriving practice of his own. We run a fun, engaged and collaborative design process often working in real time 3D to aid in the quick visualization of ideas. When not at work, Steve can be found spending quality time, cooking with his family and friends, designing and building furniture in his workshop or skiing on Mount Hood. We are currently accepting new clients and take on a variety of building types. We are licensed in Oregon and Alaska.
