“A building is not truly sustainable unless durability, economy, and resilience are considered. Often the best design is the simplest and sometimes the greenest building is the one that already exists.”
With a passion for sustainable design and historic renovations, Chris served as the project architect of Portland Public School’s Grant High School Modernization and in now working on PPS Cleveland High School. Throughout his 26 years in the industry, Chris’s academic background in philosophy and math has inspired his approach to architecture which emphasizes a thoughtful and pragmatic path to problem solving that strives to synthesize multiple objectives to serve a larger design vision.
Chris holds a Master of Architecture from University of Washington and a Bachelor of Arts from Swarthmore College. He is a registered architect in Oregon.
