Propel Studio Architecture

Last week, Tuan and Nick had the pleasure of attending the Housing Oregon Industry Support Conference and Gala. It was inspiring to witness all the incredible work being done to design, fund, build, and manage affordable housing across Oregon. The conference provided an excellent opportunity for us to engage with industry leaders and exchange innovative ideas focused on real solutions for creating affordable, beautiful, and sustainable housing. We participated in insightful panel discussions, learned from experts during Q&A sessions, and reconnected with colleagues from across the regional AEC community—all while making valuable new connections. With so many great topics, it was difficult to choose between sessions, but thankfully Housing Oregon will make all the sessions available for continued learning. We're excited to carry forward the insights gained and apply our housing design expertise to furthering the mission of making Oregon a place where housing is available for everyone. A big thank you to Housing Oregon for organizing such an impactful event! #AffordableHousing #SustainableDesign #HousingOregon #CommunityBuilding #ArchitectsForChange #AECIndustry #OregonHousing #InnovativeDesign #PropelStudio #AffordableAndBeautiful #SustainableLiving #DesignForGood #HousingEquity #CommunityDevelopment #DesignForAll #HousingSolutions #FutureOfHousing #MultifamilyDesign #MixedUseDevelopment

We are thrilled to share that our Wilder Apartments project was featured as the Seattle DJC's Project of the Week last week! Check out the feature here: https://lnkd.in/ebP8EvJ9 At Propel Studio, we believe that new housing is good housing, especially when it’s urban, transit-oriented, and thoughtfully designed to be both functional and beautiful. Wilder Apartments is a great example of how we’re working towards sustainable housing in our cities. We’re also excited to be part of the conversation at the Housing Oregon 2024 Conference and Awards Gala happening this week in Portland! This is an incredible opportunity to connect, learn, and collaborate with industry leaders about innovative ideas, cutting-edge research, and essential resources for affordable housing practitioners. We’re looking forward to being catalysts for change in our communities as we work together to craft real solutions to the housing crisis. Let’s keep pushing forward towards a future where everyone has access to affordable, beautiful, and sustainable housing! #AffordableHousing #UrbanDesign #TransitOrientedDevelopment #HousingSolutions #ArchitectureForChange #PropelStudio #HousingOregon #CommunityBuilding #SeattleDJC #SustainableLiving #ArchitectsForGood

Propel Studio Architecture recently had the privilege of attending the NE Oregon Housing Summit, an event organized by Housing Oregon. The summit brought together key stakeholders—including local jurisdictions, developers, service providers, and community leaders—to create a regionally workable housing continuum that spans shelter, supportive housing, and workforce housing solutions. We are grateful to Housing Oregon for bringing together such knowledgeable moderators and panelists to discuss the critical issues Oregon is facing with affordable housing development. The summit highlighted the urgent need for more housing of all types in Oregon to address the ongoing affordability and homelessness crisis. It was an enlightening experience to hear from experts and community leaders about the innovative solutions and collaborative efforts being made to tackle these challenges. At Propel Studio, we are committed to contributing to the development of sustainable and inclusive housing solutions. We believe that by working together, we can create a future where everyone has access to safe and affordable housing. Thank you, Housing Oregon, for hosting such an impactful event. We look forward to continuing the conversation and working towards a brighter future for all Oregonians. #AffordableHousing #NortheastOregon #HousingDevelopment #CommunitySupport #SustainableDesign #InclusiveHousing #HomelessnessCrisis #SupportiveServices #ArchitecturalDesign #HousingSolutions #CommunityPartnerships #HousingForAll #FutureHousing #OregonHousing #HousingSummit #PropelStudio #HousingOregon #MentalHealthSupport #BehavioralHealthcare #HousingStability #AffordableLiving #CommunityDevelopment #HousingEquity #SustainableLiving #UrbanPlanning #HousingInnovation #SafeHousing #InclusiveCommunities #HousingAdvocacy #FutureGenerations

Our latest project explores the full potential of an existing Craftsman home located in southeast Portland. This renovation aims to transform the space to better suit the needs of a family of four, providing more home office space, play space, and areas for future guests and family gatherings. Key goals include improving circulation and connections between levels, adding storage spaces, and enhancing the connection to the outdoors and the backyard. Currently, we're developing concept designs for renovating the basement and main floor while planning for a future second-floor expansion in the spacious empty attic. Whole house renovations like this require a careful balance of budget and planning for future family needs. We're thrilled to collaborate with a construction partner to bring new life to this fantastic old Portland home. Stay tuned for updates on this transformative journey! #HomeRenovation #CraftsmanHome #PortlandHomes #HomeOffice #FamilyLiving #HomeImprovement #RenovationProject #AtticExpansion #SustainableLiving #PortlandOregon #HomeDesign #InteriorDesign #OutdoorLiving #StorageSolutions #FuturePlanning #customhome #buildsmalllivelarge #portlandoregon #portlanddesign #pdx #design #backyardcottage #Portlanddesign #portlandADU #propelstudio #customresidential #customhomedesign #PortlandArchitecture #architect #modernarchitecture #custom #design #architecture #designlovers #architecturelovers #beautiful #style #building #designprocess #residentialarchitect #residentialarchitecture
