CHRIS KLINE DESIGN PORTFOLIO 1
“Find out what makes you kinder, what opens you up and brings out the most loving, generous, and unafraid version of you—and go after those things as if nothing else matters. Because, actually, nothing else does.” - Nick Offerman

Fourth & Montgomery Roles: Exterior Design, Conceptual Massing, Graphics & Presentations
A $100 million collaborative educational and health services building for PSU, OHSU, PCC and the City of Portland located in the downtown urban core at a nexus of transportation, urban districts, and a green street. The project provides a unique opportunity to design a site-responsive, dynamic building that projects a sense of civic formality and collaborative unification of the diverse programs inside. 5
Conceptual Montage
The project utilizes the Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) method, which colocates the users, architects, contractors, and engineers for the life of the project. This new model enables greater collaboration and a stronger sense of ownership of the project. This model also creates greater opportunity for learning and iteration by having everyone in the same space. 6

Knight Cancer Research Building Roles: Exterior Design, Detailing, Conceptual To Construction Documents, Custom Furniture
The Knight Cancer Research Building (KCRB) was a $190 million, 320,000 sf cancer research center located on Portland’s south waterfront for the OHSU Knight Cancer Institute. Enabled by the IPD process, the project team was highly motivated and unified around the guiding principle of the project: “To end cancer as we know it.” 9
As part of the exterior team, I worked on creating a unique facade that showcases views of the Willamette River and Mt. Hood from every lab. The exterior is designed around a unique interior layout that enables collaboration and communication. This state-of-the-art building will be essential to attracting world-class researchers and hopefully become the place where we can one day say we beat cancer. 10

621 Columbia Roles: Custom Furniture Design, Workstation Research & Selection
Designing a space that you and sixty of your coworkers would come to do their best work was an exciting yet challenging task. New structural technologies, like cross laminated timber (CLT) allowed us to utilize modern, sustainable materials, while honoring the design aesthetic of the former tenants, The Oregonian. 13

Custom Work Tables
Custom Conference Table
As lead designer, I partnered closely with regional and local furniture manufacturers to build several large pieces, including the reception desk, conference table, and project pods. The design driver behind these pieces was to maintain a clean aesthetic and foster collaboration and communication. 15

The goal of this tool was to create a simple, visually appealing way to search people, projects, and skill sets at the firm. I built it with the first-day employee in mind – lots of new faces, project names, and information to make sense of. It has since evolved into a digital mentorship tool and helps staff future projects based on talents and interests.

FIRM STRATEGY + MENTORSHIP SRG PARTNERSHIP 20
In an effort to continuously refine, improve, and create access to learning, I developed a set of initiatives that would impact overall firm strategy, modify how projects are staffed, and change how mentorship is initiated. I created this framework to allow the firm to become more adaptable, versatile, and collaborative, and remain a great place to work. 21

What new forms of urban public experience can emerge from the creative activation of seemingly under-utilized, vacant and residual urban space? Opportunity exists in the landscape we have cultivated for our cities. The common result of modern urbanization and complex interaction of social, technological and economic processes have overlapped in the development of contemporary urban growth. Within the past century, a time of unprecedented growth and technological progress, effective spatial utilization, that values each parcel of land, has been forgotten. Policies and a value system that have encouraged low-intensity land-use and urban sprawl have led to a growth that has left behind margins and folds of vacant spaces. As cities fluctuate and density increases, people shift in and out of the urban core, the conditions of vacancies remain.
Conceptual Montage + Site Mapping
23
This project aims to investigate how a design process can help reclaim and reactivate the under utilized and vacant spaces created by transit infrastructure along Portland’s Eastbank. With the Eastbank located adjacent to the Willamette River and across from Portland’s downtown core, transit infrastructure creates a margin between the natural ecology of the river and the small industrial, yet emerging, Central East side. Under utilized sites beneath elevated roadways currently consist of ad-hoc parking lots and city storage, with pedestrian and bicycle access being difficult or non-existent. These spaces exist in a state of stagnation. Participatory processes and community engagement are the activities which will support the overall design proposal, aiding in both the reactivation of these under utilized spaces and the means by which the public can be included in designing public space

Cully Park Process Cully Park located in NE Portland’s Cully neighborhood evolved out of the community advocating for park space. This example highlights how community gets involved in all phases from design to construction to help build investment in their neighborhoods.
