SMF, PTG, and SAH updates

SMF:

Footings have been poured, the mezzanine is in, as are the utility rooms on the east side.  The current timeline is for this to be completed by October in time for fashion week.

PTG:

The future North American headquarters of Icebreaker clothing is quite well underway.  All storefront windows are in.  Stairs need to be built and awnings and signage need to be installed, but thats about it for the shell.  They'll build out their own interiors.

And SAH:

It has passed the comment and appeal periods with design review, so now its on to construction documents to get it ready for permit.  See its section for images of the model.

Projects

This blog will host future updates to projects, hopefully as soon as they happen. There are currently three main ones that take up my time...

First is the house, which is pretty all consuming, mostly because of wrangling with various loan issues. The design is fairly set, mostly tweaking at this point. Although we have not talked to any contractors, so once we get bids, things may be scaled down appropriately.

SAH, which I'm doing for Fosler Portland Architecture is working through design review at the moment to likely approval.  All relevant city officials seem pleased with it, the only sticking point is one angry neighbor.

And then there's the new studio for the Portland Radio Authority which is progressing purely on faith at the moment. Hopefully it'll all happen, right now is the task of finding a licensed electrician in the hopes that we can actually afford the move.
