Argyle Winery Tasting Room

Lewis recently completed this project to provide Argyle with a world-class tasting facility, blending the winery’s deep history in the region with modern design elements. Located adjacent to Oregon 99W, the winery is among the busiest wine tasting venues in the state. The transformative 2.5 acre project was completed in seven months and includes a new entry pavilion, expansive gardens, additional parking for guests, and extensive renovations of the existing buildings on site. The renovation also included a climate-controlled library to showcase more than 4,000 bottles.

The Allison Inn + Spa

Honored by Condé Nast as the #1 hotel in Oregon, this 155,000 square foot country style estate is located on 32 acres. A spa and restaurant are included in this LEED Gold certified facility, and the inn’s 85 deluxe guest rooms feature custom, high-end finishes. The resort grounds are connected by winding footpaths with abundant flower and herb gardens, five acres of Pinot Noir vineyards and phenomenal views of nearby mountains. The project was the recipient of the #1 Wine Country Hotel in U.S. (Travel + Leisure), the #1 Hotel Spa in U.S. (Travel + Leisure), and the #3 Hotel in the U.S. (U.S. News & World Report).

Union Way

Lewis transformed two underutilized buildings in Portland’s West End into a new, open-air pedestrian alley connecting the two buildings and providing a passageway from West Burnside to Stark Street. This one-of-a-kind urban retail experience creates indoor and outdoor spaces for eating, drinking and shopping. The AIA award winning space houses a collection of shops and restaurants that create a fresh, authentic retail experience for merchants and their customers.

The project was the recipient of the 2013 AIA/Portland Design Awards – Mayor’s Award for Design Excellence; 2013 AIA/Portland Design Awards – Mayor’s Award for Design Excellence; and 2013 AIA/Portland Design Awards 2nd Place People’s Choice.

The Union

Located just two blocks from OSU, the Union provides housing for 221 students in 68 two- and four-bedroom units. On track to become Corvallis’ first LEED residence, the building was constructed with sustainable features such as operable windows, energy saving light fixtures and rain gardens. Each apartment is equipped with stainless steel appliances, a washer and dryer, and Ceasarstone counters. Building amenities include a deck with BBQ area, bocce ball court, edible gardens and covered bike parking.

UH Arena District

UH Arena District is located less than two blocks from the University of Oregon campus. These contemporary two and four bedroom apartments are fully-furnished and feature operable windows and energy star appliances. The 108,000 square foot building houses 65 units with 265 rentable bedrooms. Sustainable features contributing to the project’s LEED for Homes Gold certification include solar roof panels which generate hot water and low-flow plumbing fixtures.

Titan Court

Constructed as part of the landmark Lane Community College Downtown Campus project, Titan Court, a new 5-story student housing facility, was completed in the fall of 2012. The 90,000 square foot building houses 255 beds in 75 units. The project was built for LEED Gold certification and provides a living-learning experience for the College’s local and international students, as well as secure housing for University of Oregon students that prefer downtown living.

The Emery

Situated along the streetcar line in Portland’s South Waterfront and a mere 10 feet south of the Ross Island Bridge, this seven-story mixed-use development provides modern housing for young professionals and OHSU students and staff. The 100,000 square foot building houses 118 eco-friendly apartments and features ground-floor retail—including Lovejoy Bakers. To give the appearance of leaning into the South Waterfront, each floor was designed and built eight inches wider than the one below.

Eugene Water & Electric Board, Roosevelt Operations Center

This new electric and operations facility was constructed on a 55 acre site and houses 275 employees, a warehouse, vehicle shop, vehicle storage facility and materials storage yard.

It also incorporated solar water heating, an Eco Machine for treating wastewater onsite, photovoltaic energy and extensive daylighting.

Housing 250 beds, the residential building is targeting LEED Gold while the 90,000 square foot academic building was built for LEED Platinum certification and includes state-of-the-art classrooms, lecture halls, and an energy management lab. The buildings are expected to achieve an energy performance of 50% better than Oregon code and showcase heating, cooling, and ventilation systems which create a “living laboratory”
