Land Recognition

We have a responsibility to not only acknowledge but also elevate Native communities and their needs. This project sits in the area currently known as Portland, which encompasses the traditional village sites of the Multnomah, Wasco, Cowlitz, Kathlamet, Clackamas, Bands of Chinook, Tualatin Kalapuya, Molalla, and many other tribes who made their homes along the Columbia River.

Educating ourselves is an important action. We encourage you to explore the stories of these communities through Native-led resources like David G. Lewis, PhD’s The Quartux Journal and Leading with Tradition.

A Collision of Influences

By uniting a love of nature, design, and casual modern living with attention to detail, Thurman Street Lofts is a 26,000-square-foot mixed-use building that sensitively engages the nostalgic character of Portland’s historic Northwest District. To not overwhelm the site’s surrounding context while responding to the higher density and commercial requirements of zoning changes, the perceived building height is reduced by situating the mass of the top floor units backward.

Breathable Exterior Skin

Contrasting shades of sustainable Brazilian Ipe siding create visual interest and help minimize the perceived mass of the building. This Ipe rainscreen also provides a strong, breathable exterior skin.

Attention to Detail

Loft interiors are graced with exposed wood ceilings, hardwood floors, granite countertops, and expansive windows. An energy-efficient radiant floor heating system warms each unit for a fraction of the cost of traditional systems, serving both function and cost.
