ABKJ provided architectural and engineering services for the ground level renovation and expansion of One Pacific Square office tower in Portland, a post modern high rise building constructed in 1984. ABKJ successfully provided for and managed an intense land use review process addressing conflicting guidelines per Portland Design Commission and Historic Landmarks Commission, and maintaining the iconic, glass building resting on a concrete, piloti podium, that is clearly visible in the Portland skyline with its tapered crown and contextual reflections. The project includes interior renovation of the existing lobby with a unique expression that represent characterises of “flowing water,” anchored by comfortable sitting areas and a fireplace to create a warm setting for interaction. The new constructed storefront system is expanded to maximize retail leasing area and optimize returns, while maintaining respect to the iconic round piloty columns by allowing them to be visible and true in nature. The new program provides for attractive ground level amenities such as a conference center, exercise and wellness center, bicycle storage, and increased ADA accessibility with interior and exterior ramps. The plaza area was redefined with the addition of landscaping, planters, benches, steps, and hardscape paving. ABKJ provided architectural and engineering services for Market Ready Tenant Improvement for the 8th floor of One Pacific Square, proposing interior improvements for an existing unoccupied floor in the office tower for marketing and leasing purposing only, but not for occupancy. Office consists of open floor plan with two meeting rooms that meet current tech startup demands. In addition existing bathrooms were updated for accessibility, new plumbing fixtures and partitions, and fresh interior finishes using porcelain tiles and quartz slabs. Scope included verify as-built drawings, meeting with city building officials, preparing demolition and permitting drawings, and construction administration services.
