Portland-based design studio and architecture firm
About us
SUM Design Studio + architecture is a group of individuals inspired to practice their skills in the context of something greater than themselves. Together, they design meaningful and sustainable buildings, environments and personal spaces for people. The studio was formed out of a desire to collaborate on holistic design projects in a culture of flexibility, creativity and professionalism. The team shares a common regard for the impact of their work on both nature and the environment in which each project lives. SUM’s process involves careful consideration for community, continuity, quality and context, as well as including sustainable building practices and materials. SUM’s inclusive approach does not end with the design team. Client partners are an integral part of the process. Getting to know each other as people enables the team to work together openly to envision and create the most ideal result while working efficiently within the client’s budget and time frame. The ability to balance budget, people and the environment, while helping clients realize their goals explains SUM’s success and unique relationships with developers and individual clients. The firm has grown steadily due mostly to referrals and repeat customers. Each new project begins with a conversation.

Some cities are changing their zoning codes to allow clean, small-scale production in their commercial corridors. Opening up retail spaces to “artisanal manufacturing” has many benefits for communities. Meanwhile, Portland's Made in Old Town initiative continues to expand. Plans are underway to create a 350,000-square-foot footwear and apparel manufacturing hub over the next few years. https://lnkd.in/eNFpuY6t

#TBT As we continue our fantastic partnerships with Cobalt and Kiln, here's a look back at Kiln's SE Portland location that opened last summer. The historic commercial building that houses it was constructed in 1938 as a bakery and candy manufacturing facility and has always housed creative businesses. We've been thrilled at the community Kiln has managed to build in just under a year. #adapativereuse https://lnkd.in/gizCuXeC https://lnkd.in/g5PDrtAb

This was challenging but fun to work on. Using wood, brass, soft colors and neutrals in conjunction with general and decorative lighting, we created a contemporary and comfortable space that a growing business can plug and play into a new look. https://lnkd.in/gPrVBJB8
Over the last month, our client, a downtown office building owner, asked us to transform a vacant space and create a perfectly designed creative office for any group to land and start business. Challenge accepted! Using wood, brass, soft colors and neutrals in conjunction with general and decorative lighting, we created a contemporary and comfortable space that a growing business can plug and play into a new look. #officedesign #officespaces #workspaces #workplaces

Kiln is a community-driven coworking space that merges the vibrant pulse of the city with the distinctive feel of the Buckman and Hawthorne neighborhoods here in Portland. We’re thrilled to have them in the neighborhood. It was a fun project to work on. https://lnkd.in/ghPY3eth

This home's inside-and-out remodel we're working on includes an exterior that's getting new windows, new cedar siding, custom steel canopies, and a stunning ipe deck. 😎
The SUM team is transforming this 1991 home with a phased, inside-and-out remodel. Modern updates include bright, open contemporary spaces with warm finishes, custom details such as walnut cabinetry and white oak floors, and a new private den overlooking a vaulted main living area with a forested view and chef's kitchen with a 48" range and oversized island. The exterior is also getting a refresh with new windows, new cedar siding, custom steel canopies and a stunning ipe deck. #residentialremodel #residentialdesign
