For 15+ years we have stayed true to three key
elements of our company: creating great places, improving the community,
and having fun. We are passionate about collaboration and work hard to
find the best solution for the client, the site and the building to meet
these goals. Most importantly we believe in building things right the
first time.


Honored to be named Portland’s Main Street Architect, we enjoy
putting our expertise in historic renovation to work in homes,
restaurants, wineries, corporate headquarters, office spaces, and
building makeovers. We value sustainability and see adaptive reuse of
buildings as recycling on the largest scale. Principals, Melody Emerick
and Brian Emerick, AIA lead a vibrant, talented, and well-traveled
staff, maintaining personal and hands-on involvement with each and every
project.

With an open plan and exposed structure, every
interior element had to be beautiful and functional. Here you can see
the massive concrete fireplace as it defines 4 areas. On one side, it is
a wood burning fireplace with firewood as its artwork. On another side
it has additional dish storage carved out of the concrete for the
kitchen and dining. The last two sides pinch down to create a more
intimate library space at the back of the fireplace. Division Street

Here we were striving for a cabin kitchen that
would be efficient but not overwhelming. It needed also to be sunny,
welcoming and easy to organize. Who wants to open dozens of cabinet
doors just to find a colander? The raw brass/copper faucet, and vintage
stove and fridge help add an authentic touch. Old Salty Photo: Emerick

A relocated stair and fireplace allowed this whole
kitchen to open up and be light-filled. A reclaimed industrial box as
an island and floor to ceiling tile adds pops of color. Pelly-O’Brien

All beach cabins need a place for a group feast on
a sunny day or a stormy night. The original enclosed porch felt cold
and empty. With a couple of design strokes it was re-envisioned as a
magical "captains quarters" dining room. Old Salty Photo: Emerick

Custom designs + talented craftspeople = amazing
details. This new slider door showcases both. Division Street Photo:

Douglas Fir windows, doors, ceilings, and trim;
Oregon White Oak flooring and Western Walnut accent details give warmth
and richness to the heart of the home. Northwood Photo: Emerick

With accordion windows looking out at the forest,
reclaimed barn wood for a ceiling and moody colors this new master suite
is the perfect retreat at the end of the day. MacEachern Residence

This beautiful old craftsman house received a
major addition to open it up and connect it to its park-like yard.
Folding doors, abundant windows, and beautifully crafted built-ins give
this house new life while still flowing seamlessly from the old. This
addition created a family chill room and sun space plus a large covered
porch. Shea-Tweeden Residence Photo: Spin Photography

This master suite was designed to feel like a
treehouse. The exposed structure, large wall of windows and limited
amount of furniture make it the perfect escape perched over the forest.
