Allied Works

The early years of Allied Works helped to establish the critical position and reputation of the firm. In 1994, Cloepfil authored an architectural treatise entitled ‘’Sitings: Five Reflections on Architectural Domain’’. The project envisioned a series of five site interventions in diverse landscapes across the Pacific Northwest. The first built project to receive widespread recognition is the Maryhill Overlook in 1998. Located in the Columbia River Gorge, the Overlook is the first completed ‘’Sitings’’ project. It was followed by the Wieden+Kennedy Building in 2000, a transformation of an historic warehouse in Portland’s Pearl District for the world headquarters of an international advertising agency.

Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts in Dallas, Texas, the redesign of 2 Columbus Circle for the Museum of Arts and Design in Manhattan, the renovation and expansion of the University of Michigan Museum of Art in Ann Arbor, and the Clyfford Still Museum. In 2011, Allied Works also completed a new creative workspace for an animation studio in Emeryville, California.

Over the same period, Allied Works has completed a number of private residences in urban and rural landscapes. Among these are the Sun Valley Residence in Idaho, the Portland Heights Residence and 2281 Glisan Street in Portland, Oregon, the NYC Loft in Manhattan, and the Dutchess County Residence in upstate New York, which includes a main house, guest house and art barn.

Currently, Allied Works is completing the design for the National Music Centre of Canada in Calgary, Alberta, a 135,000sf performance, education, exhibition and production space dedicated to advancing Canada’s musical heritage. Scheduled to open in 2014, the NMC will be a new landmark in the city and will stand among the nation’s foremost cultural institutions. Additional works include a new arts building for Catlin Gabel School in Portland, Oregon, master planning and a major building redevelopment for the Pacific Northwest College of Art, and a master plan and new facilities for Sokol-Blosser Vineyards.

American Architects

Founded by Brad Cloepfil in 1994 with the express purpose of employing the art of building to provide insight into our culture and environment, the architecture practice has grown to a 40-person practice with offices in New York City and Portland, Oregon. We work to discover and distill the elemental principles that drive each building project. It is this essence, revealed in the architecture, which resonates within a culture, creating new experience and understanding which endures through time.
