About Us
Soderstrom Architects is a Portland Oregon based architecture, planning and interior design firm, founded in 1984. We offer comprehensive architectural services ranging from programming and design to construction administration.
Design Philosophy
Listen. Design. Inspire.
Our philosophy centers around the simple concept that great design comes from collaboration. We design for and with our clients and the communities they serve, developing unique solutions for each client’s needs. Carefully designed buildings can improve almost all aspects of our lives; they can increase test scores, speed up the healing process, encourage collaboration, provide better security, and enhance moods. We implement the latest strategies in technology, environmental design, energy efficiency, daylighting, and acoustical control to create spaces that make lives better.
Our People
Led by five principals, Soderstrom balances a unique combination of technical experience with creative enthusiasm on our design teams. Our principals lead every project from inception through completion. Our talented and dedicated staff is passionately committed to collaborative and responsive customer service.
Sustainability
We believe in responsible stewardship of the earth, creating in our work sustainable, energy-efficient environments that contribute to a healthier planet and a more just world. As a firm, we hire for the long term, invest in our staff and the local community, and source supplies from sustainable vendors. We have signed on to the AIA 2030 Commitment, and commit to making serious efforts to change our design process so that by 2030, all of our work achieves net zero energy.
