CANARD BEAVERTON : In 2021, our clients purchased three adjoining historic buildings dating back to 1887—including the original home of Beaverton’s first doctor and the iconic Beaverton Bakery, which served the community for 93 years.

In collaboration with Annen Architecture, we transformed the original theater building—a 5,000 sq ft gem—bringing modern upgrades while preserving its historic character. Structural improvements, new circulation, updated MEP systems, and a restored movie marquee have revitalized the space for new tenants, Canard Beaverton and Cottage Golf, and for the broader community.

THE CARLY ESTATE - FERN LODGE : Once a modest 1995-built B&B in Carlton, Oregon, The Carly Estate has undergone a bold transformation into a boutique hotel estate that blends rustic charm with thoughtful design. Perched on roughly 20.7 acres of restored meadows, woods, pond, and creek, the property now comprises two primary lodgings—the Fern Lodge and the Hummingbird Cottage—offering nine individually designed suites, each with its own en‑suite bathroom and unique character.

SHORTSTACK MILWAUKIE - One of the 15 cottages in Milwaukie, Oregon’s new cottage cluster features cross-laminated timber (CLT), completed as a test case by the development and design team to explore CLT in single-family home construction. The results are stunning: the rich, warm wood creates a natural softness throughout the interiors, making each space feel cozy and calming. Exposed CLT walls and ceilings pair beautifully with simple, durable finishes and abundant natural light, grounding the home while keeping it inviting. This cottage demonstrates how innovative building systems can support homes that are not only sustainable and beautiful but also deeply comfortable and family-friendly.
