The Matisse Apartments were designed to stand apart from the surrounding high-rise towers in Portland's South Waterfront district. The design team envisioned the project as a "meadow in a forest," hoping to accentuate the apartment's unique rental offerings in the two, six-story, mid-rise buildings.
The result: a LEED gold building completed on time and within budget that offers an alternative to the high-rise condos lining the waterfront.Engineers: GeoDesign Inc., KPFF Consulting Engineers, Otak, Pressler Engineering Inc.Project team StatsOther Associates: Green Building Services, RDH Building Sciences Inc., SSA Acoustics LLP, Summit Building EngineeringStart Date: August 2008Cost: $58.79 millionArchitect: Ankrom Moisan Associated Architects PCGeneral Contractor: R&H ConstructionOne building features a stucco and wood-panel exterior veneer, while the other building has a distinct shape and an exterior of composite metal panels.
