Needmore’s Office Building in Portland Architecture
Brian Libby just posted an excellent writeup on the architecture of the Olympic Mills Commerce Center (our office), by Works Partnership.
(That’s our office in this photo of Brian’s ... in fact, you can see both of our scooters in the window on the left!)
A series of four courtyards cut into the warehouse with skylights to bring in natural light. These double-height courtyards, encircled by second-floor catwalks, are the most pleasant and photogenic portions of the building. They’re clad in slatted wood (made of 2x6 flooring) that was re-milled from several wood grain cribs that had been part of the tower’s grain elevator.

Wow! What an amazing and inspiring space to conduct business in. You are so fortunate to have such wonderful space in work within. You should post some photo of your interior work space.
