design week portland

design week typically consists of studios and firms throwing open houses, where you’re invited in to see the work they do and talk shop. for the 2018 dwp our firm, WPA, decided to shake it up and introduce our community to our direct neighbors who aren’t architects or designers by title, but by craft. we paired up with a coffee shop, creative agency, furniture company, chinese restaurant, brewery and distillery and we called it “the lounge at 811”. The lounge was comprised of the zones you would find in an average home, each space was serviced in a collaboration of our partners. We invited people into our “home” to break bread and converse about the constructs of our city and how we might all collaborate on future endeavors.
