Custom Blocks
A creative office space in SE Portland, OR
Details
The mix of 1930-50s industrial buildings that make up the Custom Blocks were occupied by Custom Stamping and Manufacturing Co. The company stamped, cut and bent an array of metal products for over 50 years. S|EA wanted to preserve the character and history when converting the site to the Central Eastside’s latest creative office development. The airy space is complete with expansive windows, exposed trusses, concrete walls, and a rooftop terrace. A restored stamping machine stands tall in the main office space as a nod to the sites manufacturing roots.
