Visit the award-winning transformation of a former Slabtown awning factory into an open, light-filled workspace - a place that fuses old and new forms while championing ideals of inclusion and collaboration. Strategic creative agency Swift will share insights on their vision for the new office and how it inspires their work. Architects Heidi Beebe and Doug Skidmore will discuss how they honed the architecture and interior design to the needs of the building developers, the client and the neighborhood. Enjoy cocktails and hors d’oeuvres. Explore and engage with the team that made this space happen.

Nosh on fabulous hors d’oeuvres, grab a drink and explore this stunning remodel of Airbnb Portland’s offices with the Bora team.  Located in the historic 1888 Blagen Block, the 37,500sf space redefines a traditional customer service call-center, revolutionizes the way people work and is worlds away from the original intent of the building. Check out how “Listings” from Airbnb’s around the world were abstracted to create a rich 3-dimensional collage throughout the office and numerous elements were custom fabricated using the talents of local Portland shops including The Good Mod and SuperFab.
