Lever

Lever Architecture designs buildings that change how we think about the world. We are a design firm based in Portland that creates buildings that challenge conventional fabrication methods, uses local and commonplace materials in unexpected ways, and pursue construction that benefits the environment and regional economy. Our team comprises skilled designers and builders driven to produce creative, environmentally friendly, beautiful structures. We believe in effective collaboration with our clients to create distinctive spaces that meet their needs while preserving the surrounding environment. We are committed to developing forward-thinking design solutions that improve lives and strengthen communities. We believe architecture should be accessible to everyone, regardless of income or location. Architecture should be a collaborative process between designer and client, where the site's unique characteristics inform design. Our work ranges from high-end residential projects to community centers for underprivileged populations, but we don't just make buildings—we create spaces that impact people's lives.
