The 58,000-sq-ft PAE Living Building in Portland, Ore., is the first privately developed speculative office building fully certified under the rigorous Living Building Challenge of the International Living Future Institute, and one of only 35 fully certified Living Buildings in the world.
First built as a temporary facility more than 45 years ago, the TriMet Powell Garage was overdue for a modernization to improve safety, capacity and employee well-being.
This project transformed a historic church, originally built in 1909, into a full-service craft brewery, bar, restaurant and coffee house for Portland’s local Steeplejack Brewing.
This PAE Living Building is a dynamic structure designed and built with the goal of not just doing less harm to the environment but making a positive contribution to it.
