Architecture Studio · Portland, OR
Datum is a modern architecture studio designing homes, workplaces, and adaptive-reuse projects that begin with the site and end with something built to last.
Services & Projects
We work across scales — a single addition or a ground-up workplace — with the same rigor: site-first thinking, honest materials, and detailing you can feel.
01
Custom homes, additions, and whole-house renovations designed around how you actually live, your light, and your site.
02
Workplaces, retail, and hospitality that balance brand, budget, and the daily experience of the people inside.
03
Giving warehouses, mills, and tired buildings a second life — keeping the character, upgrading everything else.
04
Interior architecture, millwork, and material palettes resolved down to the joint, the reveal, and the handle.
The Studio
So is good design. We start from what's true about a project — the site, the light, the program, the budget — and let everything else build up from there. The result is architecture that feels inevitable, not imposed.

Clients
“They listened harder than any firm we met with. The house we ended up with is better than the one we thought we wanted.”
Custom Home · Mount Tabor
“Datum turned a dim 1920s warehouse into our headquarters — on budget, and people stop in the lobby just to look up.”
Adaptive Reuse · Central Eastside
“The drawings were flawless and the site visits constant. Our contractor said it was the cleanest set he'd built from in years.”
