The studio.
Small enough to care properly, experienced enough to know what matters.

Eleanor Rae, AIA
Eleanor has practiced architecture for fourteen years, from large offices in Portland to the small studio she founded with a simple rule: fewer projects, done completely.
She works closely with a small team of collaborators - a structural engineer, a builder, and a landscape designer - so every project is resolved from foundation to finish.

What we value
01
Small and selective
We take on a handful of projects a year and see each one through to the door.
02
Direct and honest
Clear fees, honest schedules, and no drama. The design is the point, not the process.
03
Built to stay
Timeless materials and simple forms, so the building still looks right in twenty years.
