West of West is an architecture and design studio working across housing, hospitality, retail, adaptive reuse, and workplace. We bring together design, art, culture, and technology to respond to contemporary life and help shape its future.

We collaborate with people and organizations who see architecture as an opportunity to do something meaningful. Through research, we challenge assumptions and uncover possibilities for housing that expands how people live together, hospitality spaces that connect people to a place, retail environments that express a distinct point of view, adaptive reuse projects that radically reimagine an existing building’s use and value, and workplaces that support creative life. Each project begins with its own questions and develops into a clear architectural idea. Our ambition is to carry that idea through form, materiality, and craft, creating places that are engaging to inhabit, responsive to their surroundings, and built to last.

We work through deep listening, clear communication, and an open exchange of ideas. Together with our clients, we establish a shared vision and carry it forward with careful attention to design, budget, schedule, and construction. West of West is a certified Emerging Small Business (ESB) in the State of Oregon. We are licensed to practice architecture in Oregon, California, Washington, Idaho, Texas, and Ohio, and are prepared to obtain registration in additional states and jurisdictions to support our clients.
