How we work

Four phases, one conversation.

— i.
Listen
Two long conversations about how you live, what you need, and what you're tired of pretending you don't.
— ii.
Sketch
Hand sketches and rough massing. Iteration with you, weekly. Nothing precious until you're sure.
— iii.
Draw
Construction documents. Material selection. We meet your contractor and stay on the project until the framing is up.
— iv.
Walk through
Site visits weekly through construction. Final walkthrough together. We're not done until you're in.
The studio

A small studio, by design.

Atlas + Reed was founded in 2017 around a shared idea: architecture practiced at the scale where the architect still knows the carpenter, the client, and the lighting plan by heart. We take on six to eight projects a year, never more — because anything beyond that means the principals stop drawing and start managing.

The studio has six architects, all licensed, all in the Portland office. We work primarily across the Pacific Northwest but have done projects in California, Montana, and (once) Maine. Every project has at least one principal on it from first sketch to final inspection.
