Boltwood Place
Brief Mixed-use apartment building with retail and office space on ground floor Location Amherst, MA Size 18,300 sf Client Archipelago Investments Completion 2012 Certification LEED for Homes Mid-Rise Silver
Holst was sought out by an east coast developer to design an infill housing project within the historic vernacular of Amherst, Massachusetts. Boltwood’s complementary exterior palette of white clapboard and cedar siding is a nod to the college town’s clapboard saltboxes, and the building scale and proportions are appropriate for its context. The articulation of modern details such as clean lines and minimal detailing are a fresh take on the traditional New England aesthetic. Located on a 5,000 sq. ft. site behind a popular restaurant in downtown, the building’s south side is nearly transparent, offering spectacular views of the town. The five-story structure features 12 loft-style apartments with office/retail spaces on the ground floor. A minimal building framework establishes structural order while allowing interiors to be open and free-flowing. The simple, clean detailing inside is congruent with the structural order though softened significantly by wood finishes, custom cabinetry, and white oak flooring. Large windows allow natural light to brighten interiors. Achieving LEED Silver, the building features highly efficient systems and recycled, locally sourced, and nontoxic materials throughout.

937 Condominiums
Brief Mixed-use condominium building with highprofile retail on ground floor Location Portland, OR Size 236,000 sf Certification LEED Platinum Client 937 Group, LLC Completion 2007
937 is a 16-floor condominium tower in the heart of Portland’s Pearl District. A tall, narrow rectangular mass over a transparent retail base, the building features creamcolored brick set against translucent, wine-red balconies with a varied pattern of window sizes and spacing for visual interest at different scales. The slender floor plans provide generous natural light and expansive views of the city. Open, airy living spaces integrate entertaining areas to take full advantage of the light and stunning views. Maximum energy efficiency is achieved by the innovative orientation of the building along the north-south axis, sending sun-warmed water from the south side to the north side of the building when needed, and vice versa. The project also features a 4,000 sq. ft. vegetated roof and stormwater planters, which filter rainwater, reduce the urban heat island effect, and insulate the building in all seasons. 75% of demolition and construction waste was recycled and diverted from landfills. The 937 Condominiums building is certified LEED Platinum. The project is a collaboration between Holst Architecture and Ankrom Moisan Architects.

Belmont Street Lofts
Brief Mixed-use condominium building with ground floor retail on busy SE Portland corridor Location Portland, OR Size 40,000 sf Client Belmont Street Lofts LLC Completion 2004
The Belmont Street Lofts is a mixed-use project located in one of Portland’s most culturally vibrant neighborhoods. Taking a cue from the Belmont area’s lively, unconventional, and green-minded ethos, Holst merged those sensibilities while maximizing usable lot space in a city where smart, efficient urban development is a priority. The project provides 27 loft/condominium residences ranging from 850 to more than 1,000 square feet of private living space with 4,000 square feet of retail and resident parking on the ground level. The exterior skin is a rain screen system consisting of renewable Brazilian Ipe wood and sunscreens, an unprecedented move at the time considering Portland’s rainy climate. A central boiler fuels radiant floor heating, which supports the design goals for energy efficiency. “The façade, an interwoven matrix of permeable wire-mesh balconies, wood cladding, and floor-to-ceiling windows, gives the building the warmth and texture of an established Northwest landmark, blending with existing Craftsman bungalows while recalling the designs of local mid-century architects like Pietro Belluschi.” — Dwell magazine

Sawyer’s Row
Brief Apartment building with community amenities, courtyard, and outdoor fire pit Location Portland, OR Size 42,300 sf (21,150 sf per building) Certification LEED Platinum Client CE John Completion 2013
Sawyer’s Row, part of Portland’s Northwest Plan District, is composed of two 3-story, wood-frame walk-up buildings. Forty apartments, 20 units per building, are arranged on all three levels. The material palette is a balance of textured cedar rain screen cladding system with cement stucco, steel canopies, and an aluminum storefront. Rather than consume the site with a long, overbearing structure, Holst broke the building into four smaller parts, physically and figuratively. The reduced scale and proportions promote a residential neighborhood feel, setting the tone for new development in this area of the city. Situated in a former industrial area, Sawyer’s Row is surrounded by an eclectic mix of industrial, commercial, and multi- and singlefamily buildings, and sets an example for successful future infill development in the neighborhood. Each building module is 50 feet wide, scaled to mimic a traditional storefront in a walkable city. Furthermore, the facade is animated through the creative patterning of windows, cedar siding, and alternating one- and two-story entrance alcoves. The floors are shifted slightly, producing varying vertical bays and giving the impression of horizontal movement.

Thurman Street Lofts
Brief Mixed-use condominium building with ground-floor retail Location Portland, OR Size 26,000 sf Client 937 Group, LLC Completion 2006
This 26,000 sq. ft. mixed-use building sensitively engages the nostalgic character of Portland’s historic Northwest District, while responding to the higher density and commercial requirements of zoning changes. Thurman Street Lofts include 16 loft/condominium units ranging in size from 640 to 1900 sq. ft. It also provides 500 sq. ft. of ground-floor retail, secure ground floor parking, and private balconies. Inspired by the turn-of-the-century masonry apartment buildings of the area, each unit is graced with large picture windows punched deep into the wood facades. The building corners break down, exposing delicate wood screens. The perceived building height is reduced by setting the top floor back 12 feet from the street and back facades, providing private full-width terraces to those units. Contrasting shades of sustainable Brazilian Ipe siding create visual interest and help minimize the perceived mass of the building. This Ipe rainscreen also provides a strong, breathable exterior skin. Loft interiors are graced with exposed wood ceilings, hardwood floors, granite countertops, and expansive windows. Serving both function and cost, an energy-efficient radiant floor heating system warms each unit for a fraction of the cost of traditional systems.

Located on Portland’s main artery in the Southeast, Sunrose Condominiums is a 64,000 sq. ft. mixed-use development with 6,000 sq. ft. of retail space. Expressive patterns, subtle detailing and beautiful materials make this development an appealing visual anchor at the intersection of SE 28th and Burnside. The exterior is clad in a combination of stucco and black-stained cedar. Aluminum panels are inset in the large window openings. Stucco boxes form the balconies and break up the large building mass to give it more of a human scale. Inside, the unique floor plate is rotated 90 degrees to give each of the 32 residential units significantly more window space, natural light, and views. Each unit features hardwood floors, oak cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and wool carpeting. A second-story internal courtyard provides natural light to the units that abut neighboring developments, and parking spaces, bike racks, and storage units are also available to residents.

Clinton Condominiums
Brief Mixed-use condominium building with ground floor retail Location Portland, OR Size 50,000 sf Client Rapaport Development Completion 2008
The Clinton Condominiums project responds to the eclectic, earthy culture of inner Southeast Portland. The 50,000 sq. ft. mixed-use building is located on SE Division Street, but gets its name due to its proximity to the vibrant Clinton and 26th intersection, a hub for restaurants, bars, boutiques, and a movie theater. On the first floor, 3,800 sq. ft. of desirable retail space contributes to the area’s activity. Mahogany wood trim framing the floor-to-ceiling windows of the retail spaces offers a unique pedestrian experience. Above, the 27 loft condominium units range from 850 sq. ft. to more than 1,000 sq. ft. Private surface parking is included for the residents, providing security and street parking for visitors to the area. Inspired by the crystalline quality of geodes, the exterior skin on the north and south elevations are cor-ten steel rainscreens, while the west elevation opens up with floorto-ceiling windows and translucent glass panels. The sky-colored angled glass panels provide privacy between decks and become luminous after dark. The interiors are finely detailed, featuring radiant black walnut floors, customdesigned cabinets, and premium appliances.

310 Oak Street
Brief Mixed-use condominium building with highprofile retail on ground floor Location Hood River, OR Size 32,000 sf Client Smart Development Completion 2006
Located in downtown Hood River, Oregon, Holst designed a four-story mixed-use building that is modern in detail, scale, and function, nestled favorably within an historic context. Traditional materials of brick and wood are used to complement the modern expression of the concrete structure, as the building mass steps back to form an adjacent outdoor plaza. Access to light and views was achieved by creating an intimate public courtyard between buildings, which also supports the retail tenants by offering outdoor spaces that are protected from the notorious Columbia River Gorge winds. The loft-style units have expansive floor-to-ceiling windows with panoramic views of the Gorge and Mount Adams. Cherry is used throughout, from the custom-designed fireplace to the reading nook’s built-in couch and shelves. Floors are concrete slab with radiant heating. Ground floor retail and a cafe contribute to a lively street presence and share the multi-purpose outdoor space for performances and a farmer’s market. The pedestrian corridor respects Hood River’s walkability and the building’s prime location in the heart of the town’s retail district.

LL Hawkins & Slabtown Marketplace
Brief Mixed-use apartment building with ground floor retail, pedestrian accessway, and converted warehouse/grocery store Location Portland, OR Size 92,000 sf site includes 36,000 sf warehouse converted into retail and new 125,000 sf apartment building Certification LEED Gold expected Client CE John Completion Expected April 2015
Currently under construction, this mixed-use project in NW Portland will provide market-rate apartments, retail, and a new pedestrian accessway. The first project in the recently masterplanned district of NW Portland, this 92,000 sq. ft. superblock project will serve as a catalyst for future development and revitalization in the area. The western half of the site includes the redevelopment of a 36,000 sq. ft. warehouse, called Slabtown Marketplace. A local grocery store is the building’s anchor tenant, and there will be two additional tenant retail spaces. Architecturally, Slabtown Marketplace takes its cue from the surrounding mid-century warehouse district. New storefront openings will be cut into the perimeter on all four sides, and expansive wood canopies and porches reminiscent of loading docks will be added to create rich pedestrian environments. A new six-story mixed-use building, named LL Hawkins, will be built on the eastern portion of the site. The 125,000 sq. ft. building includes 114 apartments, 6 retail spaces, and 79 subterranean parking spaces for the apartment tenants. The building breaks down into smaller vertical elements, evoking an early 20th-century scale. Connecting Slabtown Marketplace to LL Hawkins and the surrounding neighborhood, a new pedestrian accessway bifurcates the superblock. The overall design of the accessway allows the edge to be flexible over time, with parking easily replaced by tents and kiosks for neighborhood-oriented art fairs, block parties, and special events.

Glisan Commons
Brief Mixed-use affordable housing with nonprofit headquarters TI on ground floor Location Portland, OR Size 73,000 sf Certification LEED for Homes Low-Rise Platinum Clients Human Solutions; Ride Connection Completion 2014
An innovative transit-oriented development located in Portland’s emerging Gateway Urban Renewal District, Glisan Commons provides 67 units of low-income housing combined with robust services for vulnerable populations. A long-awaited symbol of community investment in this outer area of Portland, the building provides affordable homes, plentiful transit options, and important social services to lower-income seniors and working families. Budget constraints required the creative maneuvering of a limited palette; fiber cement siding, vertical metal paneling, and accents of porcelain tile and custom color aluminum panels at major building elements were carefully composed. The program includes a 2nd-floor common area kitchen and computer lab, and a small meeting room for social services and job training. A shared rooftop deck is accessible through the common space, where residents can socialize and grow vegetables. Glisan Commons has been fully occupied with a waitlist since it opened, with many of the tenants transitioning directly from homelessness. The ground-floor commercial space is home to the new headquarters for Ride Connection, a non-profit that provides transportation options for the elderly and people with disabilities. The project has brought more than 50 new employees to the struggling Gateway neighborhood.
“GLISAN COMMONS IS URBAN RENEWAL AT ITS BEST.” Jean DeMaster Executive Director, Human Solutions
Located at the corner of NE Glisan and 100th Avenue, in a neighborhood positioned to become the most intensely developed area outside of the Central City, Glisan Commons uses a rich program of social impact to fulfill important tenets of the Gateway Plan, which states that “future development will transform Gateway from a suburban low-density area to a dense, mixed-use regional center that maximizes the public’s significant investment in the transportation infrastructure.”

As a centerpiece of Portland’s Ten Year Plan to End Homelessness, Bud Clark Commons (BCC) represents a new approach to providing dignified housing and comprehensive services to help those experiencing homelessness. Located at the gateway to downtown Portland, near historic Union Station and bordering the Pearl District, BCC achieves a perceivable balance between the rigorous programmatic requirements of a coalition led by the City of Portland, a progressive design approach, and sustainable building practices. The mission of BCC is to provide a continuum of services to help transition homeless individuals toward stability and a permanent living arrangement. The architecture helps achieve this goal in the expression of both form and function: a walk-in day center with a public courtyard and access to services; a shelter with 90 transitional and temporary beds for men; and a separate and secure entrance to 130 efficient, furnished studio apartments for single women or men seeking permanent housing with support services. Holst approached BCC’s design with the attitude that addressing basic needs is not exclusive of design that dignifies the human condition. BCC is LEED Platinum.

This privately developed student housing building in Amherst, Massachusetts, is currently under construction. The new 5-story wood-framed building will provide approximately 232 beds for students. Referencing traditional New England academic architecture, the Holst team designed the large building to resemble a cluster of gables. The total effect results in an accessible small-village campus feel. Two courtyards are formed by the building’s bays, providing a gathering space and access to nature for students. In addition to 73 units ranging from studios to 4-bedroom suites, the building provides common spaces on the ground floor, including meeting spaces and a welcoming lobby with reception desk. Situated in a beautiful woodland setting, the architects wanted to break down the scale of the large building into smaller volumes. The brick and white metal exterior is designed for visual contrast, and makes the building appear less like one large mass and more like an accessible student village.

Currently in design, Kendrick is a privately developed student housing and residential project with retail on the ground floor, providing 104 beds. The vacant brownfield site is located at a premium intersection at the northernmost edge of Amherst’s downtown business district. Marking the halfway point between the town’s historic commercial center and the University of Massachusetts campus, the building anchors its site and provides a much-needed link between the university and downtown. In a nod to Amherst’s traditional building material palette, Kendrick features red brick and cedar to fit in contextually with the existing buildings. The brick facade is broken down into smaller bays to reflect the scale of the town’s historic buildings. The triangular-shaped site inspired the building’s acute triangular corners, reminiscent of New York’s Flatiron Building. The brick facades features punched openings, while the building’s corners provide glassy lanterns to convey a lighter framework language. Each corner looks down upon intersections and offers amazing views. Directly across from Kendrick Park, the units at that corner are turned to maximize the views.

The Hotel Modera is a renovation of an old motor lodge into a boutique downtown Portland hotel. The five-story hotel has 176 rooms and suites and is situated along TriMet’s MAX light rail system. The renovation de-emphasizes the car while providing a unique public courtyard along SW 6th Ave. The courtyard includes a living wall, fire pits, and plenty of seating for hotel guests and Portlanders alike. The living wall is planted in a vertical manner and integrates steel from the fire pits as well as the vegetation from the courtyard. New exterior surfaces and a new window system throughout are intended to simplify previous alterations, allowing for the building’s original simplicity to show. A new extension for the lobby area at the first floor allows for a greater connection to the street, creating an inviting space for guests.

Holst is currently renovating an aged 1960s structure in Portland’s Convention Center district into a boutique hotel featuring numerous amenities, including a ground-floor café, rooftop deck with panoramic views of the city, and a top-floor restaurant and bar activated by a new express elevator. In addition to an overall brand shift (Hotel Eastlund was previously a Red Lion), the entire exterior and interior of the hotel will be renovated. An open and inviting new lobby will replace an existing driveway, connect the existing 1st-floor spaces, and provide ample room for guests to mingle, work, or enjoy drinks from the new café. New energy efficient floor-to-ceiling window walls will replace the existing curtain wall, maximizing natural light and views to downtown Portland. A fin element on the façade will mark the hotel’s entry and provide the hotel a visual identifier from downtown. The brick exterior walls, previously painted over, will be restored to their natural look. An undulating screen will conceal below-grade parking while providing a dynamic pedestrian experience, and ground-level parking will be partially screened by new trellises, greenery, and landscaping. The project will be completed in Spring 2015.
