Woofter Bolch Architecture

Another view of our new ADU project, this one looking toward the alley. A row of clerestory windows in the kitchen aligns with the top of the backyard fence, continuing the geometry of the exterior into the interior. This maintains privacy while bringing in daylight and providing views to the neighboring rooftops across the alley.

In for permit!

We have been working with wonderful repeat clients on a new ADU that will both enhance their backyard and engage the alley behind. The simple, cabin-like form will feature exposed wood throughout and a collection of carefully arranged niches, windows, and skylights that will create layers of space and visually expand the cosy interior.

Model of the reception desk, stair, and skylight at the heart of the new Alliant Systems Portland HQ. We used this model to explore and explain the spatial and material relationships of the existing and new elements at this key moment at the center of the design.

The project renovates a beautiful industrial building in SW Portland characterized by a concrete structure at the first floor and timber at the second. A new steel stair rises links the two floors and brings daylight to the heart of the office via a new flared skylight above. The actual construction is finishing up beautifully and will be open soon.systems

Starting construction soon!

We have been working closely with Alliant Systems to design a new Portland headquarters for their growing team. Located in a 2-story former warehouse building in SW Portland, the project reflects Alliant’s commitment to downtown Portland and will create a new office environment that reflects their company’s unique culture and supports their collaborative ethos.

With a goal of maximizing a sense of connection between the floors, the design creates a new open stair located below an expansive skylight that will link the two levels and provide a central focal point for the variety of new open work areas and enclosed meeting and breakout spaces arrayed throughout.

The project has been especially meaningful as we have enjoyed a long-term collaborative relationship with Alliant, going back close to 20 years.
