SCOTT | EDWARDS ARCHITECTURE - Portland Architects

PEOPLE FIRST | DESIGN FORWARD

Our mission is to enhance life for clients, users, and communities through thoughtful design in architecture, planning, and interiors.

At SCOTT | EDWARDS ARCHITECTURE we believe we can elevate quality of life – at work, at home, and in our communities – through thoughtful planning and design. We’ve witnessed first-hand how our projects have affected lives and had an impact on individuals, families, businesses, communities, and the environment.

WE ARE TAKING ACTION

The deep-rooted racism in our country is unacceptable. Time for action is now. We are actively listening, learning, and embracing our responsibility to make real positive change.

S|EA is committed to taking action for positive change by:

Examine the work we do through our Diversity, Equity and Inclusion lens.
Commit to donating $40k and 200 hours of pro-bono services annually to non-profits who promote social justice and serve communities of color.
Engage in conversation and education within our firm about the history of racism and actions we are taking to advocate for change.
Grow our network of minority and women owned firms for partnering and mentoring opportunities.
Provide flexible work schedules for our staff to allow them to engage in social justice causes.

Match charitable contributions that our staff make to social justice non-profits annually up to $1,000 per employee.
Support minority owned businesses with our purchases of goods and services.
Support our staff’s participation in education programs that introduce minority youth to the architectural profession.
Establish a college scholarship of $5,000 annually to a minority student that attends an architectural school.

Our DEI committee is engaged and actively working on the steps required the achieve these goals.

Listen. Respond. Develop. Document. Build. Experience.

We understand each project is our client’s, not ours, so we start by checking our ego at the door. That isn’t to say we don’t push the envelope. Our enthusiasm is focused on satisfying our client’s needs, both known and unknown. We bring a broad architectural understanding, inherent curiosity, and sound technical expertise, we then apply these skills to each project’s particular set of circumstances. The result is an architectural solution that truly reflects the unique needs and desires of our client, is sensitive to the site, technically sound, and engenders pride in the community.

We use a full suite of up-to-date software and technology to aid in communication, design, project management, and marketing during our projects.

Whether it’s the Glasswood Building, the country’s first Passive House Certified retrofit of a commercial space; or the Juniper Gardens Apartments, recipient of five national “green” certifications including the USGBC’s LEED Gold for Homes certification, we are experienced with sustainable design. At SCOTT | EDWARDS ARCHITECTURE we advance thoughtful, energy efficient, and durable design considerations as programmatic requirements throughout the planning and design process on all of our projects. We believe saving energy and resources is not only good for the environment, it’s good business.

“People First” is the first half of our firm motto. It includes our clients, our community, and our team. At SCOTT | EDWARDS ARCHITECTURE we believe diversity in our staff – their backgrounds, motivations, and inspirations – helps propel us toward our vision of achieving excellence in everything we design.

Our office culture is open, inclusive, and collaborative. We think of ourselves as a perpetual Portland-based architectural start-up. This keeps us enthusiastic, collaborative, experimental, and fun. It also keeps our focus clear, “People First | Design Forward.” Click below to view and contact our team.
