19TH & PETTYGROVE (Merx)
MERX
Portland, Oregon
Construction to be Completed 2023
Site Area ~ 100’x100’
Total 105 Residential Units
Design Team
Architect - YBA Architects
Located on a quarter block site in Portland’s NW Slabtown Neighborhood, the challenge presented to the design team was to create a new type of urban housing to accommodate the city’s growing small household population. With a focus on quality design over large unit square footage, the average unit size is 310 sq.ft. (net). High quality finishes, built-in cabinets, and innovative architecture are geared toward a sophisticated urbanite that cherishes a ‘less is more’ ethos.
In order to mitigate the reduced unit footprint, YBA’s design goal for the unit interiors was to achieve a sense of spaciousness by using large 8’-0” x 8’-0” windows, Juliet balconies, increased floor to ceiling height, and abundant thoughtful storage space.

Designer Notes
The quarter block site is meant to utilize both height increase and arcade frontage along East Burnside Avenue.
The design mimics the natural forms of ‘STRATA’ with projected catelivers at the North and South frontages.
This design was a collaboration with Architect friends hoping to bring the owner / developer beyond the contracted schematics.

FIELD OFFICE Project^
Field Office
Portland, Oregon
300,000 SF
Completed 2018
Client Notes
Purpose-build the future creative office space through innovatively connecting every space to nature, natural materials, and park-like environments.
Designer Notes
Despite its busy, urban context, Field Office provides physical and visual access to nature throughout the building, offering a workplace where inside can be outside, and where outside can come in. Office spaces come with sweeping iconic Portland views and abundant natural light, and the building is designed for flexibility, allowing tenant spaces to adapt over time. Using industrial-inspired materials and forms, including reclaimed wood for warmth and human-scale texture, the design of the building responds and contributes to the transition of this former industrial district into a vibrant, accessible mixed-use neighborhood.

Completed 2014
Client Notes
Transform a generic office space into a culture-specific, lively workplace that includes environments for play and camaraderie. Provide plenty of collaborative spaces and flexible common work areas to accommodate a variety of working styles and conditions.
Designer Notes
This rapidly growing company wanted to maintain a sense of community even as they expanded, so we designed the workplace with communal spaces as the focal point. A prominent mural by a local artist, telling the story of the company’s history, anchors an open lounge area, and opens to a communal kitchen. Workspaces are provided with flexible furniture, and a variety of conference rooms, quiet rooms, and collaborative spaces with whiteboard walls and digital screens. The overall design is colorful and playful to reflect the startup culture of this growing company.
