Business Description
Established in 1993, this full-service architecture practice serves the Portland metropolitan area and clients throughout Oregon and Washington. The Firm provides residential, commercial, and historic preservation/adaptive-reuse services, with a reputation built primarily on repeat clients and referrals.

Approximately 80% of new work comes from past clients or their referrals, while repeat clients account for roughly half of revenue. The practice maintains a steady pipeline of 40–60 active projects and typically issues approximately 20 proposals per month, with an overall proposal close rate of approximately 60%.

The team includes two licensed architect principals and an experienced technical staff, with employee tenures ranging from 2 to 21 years. The Firm operates on a time-and-materials model across all projects and has historically maintained a balanced mix of residential and commercial work, with commercial projects representing the highest-margin practice area.

The opportunity is particularly well suited to a licensed architect or existing architecture practice seeking an established client base, experienced staff, and a platform for continued growth. The sellers are planning for retirement and are willing to provide a transition period of up to one year to support client relationships, project continuity, and licensing/firm-registration transition.

Facilities & Assets
The Firm operates from a standalone historic office and occupies approximately 1,433 square feet with five on-site parking spaces. The office is leased from an entity owned by the sellers and is available for continued lease or purchase as part of the transaction. Included business assets include five workstations, server infrastructure, a large-format plotter, two company vehicles, furniture, fixtures, and other office equipment.
Market Outlook / Competition
The Firm primarily serves the Portland metropolitan area while regularly performing work throughout Oregon and Washington. It competes with sole practitioners and home designers on smaller projects and small-to-mid-sized architecture firms on larger projects. Key differentiators include full-service residential delivery, flexible commercial project scoping, historic preservation experience, and long-standing relationships with local jurisdictions. Approximately 80% of new work comes from past clients and referrals.
Opportunities for Growth
Opportunities include expanding public and institutional work, adding dedicated marketing/business development capabilities, increasing geographic reach, and leveraging existing staff capacity. The Firm's largest client has also indicated plans to increase development and design activity in the coming year, although this is not currently contracted backlog. The practice has historically spent nothing on paid advertising and has never employed a dedicated marketing professional.
