"On the cusp of retirement and ready to determine

"On the cusp of retirement and ready to determine the pace of their lives moving forward, the new home would play a large role in how their future would look. A gallery-like aesthetic and a focus on indoor-outdoor integration are the pervasive elements of the design and serve to create a functional and beautiful forever home for the clients."

In 2021, our team worked alongside @seraarchitects

In 2021, our team worked alongside @seraarchitects to design the outdoor spaces for @denizenpdx, located in the East side Industrial District of Portland.

“We were intentional in creating welcoming exterior spaces that connect to the timeless character of the architecture through material selection and the entry sequence,” says SD Principal Nate Otani, who served as the Project Manager.

Inspired by the character of the Kerns neighborhood, the overall design references art deco and industrial styles, with details such as spherical stone planters and gate patterning highlighting the building’s architecture. The rooftop deck creates a beautiful backdrop for cookouts and gatherings with panoramic views of downtown Portland.

“The space comes alive at night, glowing in different tones to highlight the landscape and bring a warmth to the heart of the development,” says Otani.

Three of our team members are celebrating work ann

Three of our team members are celebrating work anniversaries this month!

Kealin Freund joined our team 3 years ago as a Landscape Architect. She excels at revitalizing and re-envisioning sites as functional community gathering hubs, on community-driven projects such as the City of Tualatin’s Veterans Plaza at Tualatin Commons and Al Griffin Memorial Park Master Plan in Bay City.

“I discovered Landscape Architecture as an undergrad…it combined areas I was interested in, the creative and the logical, I was drawn to it because it’s a way to make the world a better place,” says Freund.

Jesse Conner is a Landscape Designer celebrating 1 year at Shapiro Didway. His design style is informed by his aptitude for integrating art with the built and natural environments, his eye for landscape photography, and his understanding of diverse cultures and communities.

“I get to have a positive effect on communities, and I get to do it through permanent, large-scale improvements to a space,” says Conner, “It’s tangible, it’s physical, it’s going to be used and it’s going to be looked at…and it’s going to be there, possibly, after I’m gone. And it’s not about one person doing it, we’re doing it together as a firm.”

Maggie Denham is our Marketing Coordinator & Designer celebrating 3 years on our team. She specializes in bringing modern design solutions to organize information in inviting ways for proposals and client deliverables.

“It’s great working with other creative people who have a design sense. I admire everyone I work with and their ability to marry design with the natural world in a way that’s environmentally sustainable. It’s fun to see design from that perspective,” says Denham.
