Info

In the fall of 2005, facing the end of the firm's lease in the Morgan Building in Downtown Portland, the Portland-based design firm Boora Architects began to study its options for staying in its existing space, which it had occupied since 1990; leasing new space elsewhere in the city; purchasing a site on which to build a new facility; or purchasing an existing building to re develop as its headquarters studio. For reasons of sustainability,functionality, economics, and design, the firm chose to stay in its leasehold and create the studio environment that will be the subject of this tour, Oregon's first Platinum project under LEED for Commercial Interiors. Boora's design team zeroed in on a central question in the re-design of its Morgan
Building space: how could the firm accomplish the open plan work environment and high -volume qualities of loft environments that so many staff desired?

During this tour of the space with Boora principal John Meadows, you will be able to observe the results of knowledge sharing through collaboration, a highly
participative design process, extensive daylighting and natural ventilation, and flexible workspace using a kit of parts workstation,and many collaboration
spaces.

This year, the Urban Land Institute recognized Boora's design of the Adidas Village, Adidas America's Corporate Headquarters in Portland's Overlook Neighborhood, with its Award for Excellence for the Americas.To be announced at ULI's fall meeting in Miami, the Adidas Village was also one of only five projects to win ULI's Global Award for Excellence.
