Featured Projects

The firm’s Fresh Foods commercial project is one of its most commended works. The company led the architecture and construction teams for the client’s Cannon Beach location. The client already worked with the company in the past to complete the food brand’s Manzanita commercial center. Just like the first design-build project, the new store was designed with customers in mind. Instead of just being a typical grocery store where people shop, it accommodated a coffee bar and a soup bar where patrons can interact and spend time. The store also features stunning coastal views.
