Brett Schulz, Architect

Originally founded in Hood River, pFriem Family Brewers has opened a new location in the historic Milwaukie City Hall. What was once the fire station and city hall offices is now a two-story restaurant featuring three custom curving bars, three distinct dining areas, a full commercial kitchen, and basement storage. We loved finding ways to celebrate the restaurant’s former fire station history. For example, the bar designs incorporate the existing fire pole, now being used to hold the bar tap lines. The fire station overhead doors now provide an open air connection to the outdoor seating patio. And the fire station driveway is now a large covered outdoor seating area.

pFriem offers full lunch and dinner service from 11am-9pm. Stop by, grab an award-winning beer and delicious food, and enjoy this stunning space!

Have you checked out the Elephants Delicatessen we worked on in Beaverton? This space transformed from a dark German beer hall into a light, airy delicatessen. Why don’t you check it out by getting something refreshing to celebrate the start of summer? 🌞

Brett hosted some UO architecture students for a talk about the profession and a walking tour of a handful of local projects along Sandy Blvd we completed with our longtime friend, Kevin Cavenaugh of Guerrilla Development. The Atomic Orchard Project, when completed, will have 49 units, 40% of which will be affordable. Other projects toured were Han Oak, The Ocean, New New Crusher Court, and The Zipper.
